49.1	12	The spline allows the driving horn to be connected to the output shaft so that it rotates with the shaft. The 24 tooth spline selected is used by other servo manufacturers (for example Hitec's HS-422 and HS-645MG RC servos) and as such there are a variety of accessories / horns which are compatible and can be installed on the servo. Alternatives to using the Lynxmotion driving horn include a wheel, a pulley or sprocket, a tubing connector, specific RC horns and more. Note that there are many different spline cross sections, and in order to ensure the a horn can fit onto the output shaft of the servo, it must have the matching / identical spline.

	14	Although the final gear which (located within the servo) which is connected to the output spline is supported by two radial ball bearings, the output spline is intended to withstand torque as opposed to radial or axial loads.

64.1	22	The black plastic case which forms the body of the servo is made up of three sections: the top (highlighted in yellow), the bottom (opposite the driven horn and highlighted in orange), and the middle / center. All three case components are made of machined aluminum, anodized black. There are four screws located on the bottom case holding the servo together. Opening the servo without express permission from RobotShop / Lynxmotion staff will void the warranty. There are many threaded inserts in the top and bottom case, and their specifications and functionality are described below.

	30	* User can select a color to add an aesthetic / visual flare to their robotic creation
	31	* When changing modes or using the button menu, the LED provides visual feedback of the servo's status / configuration
	32	* If the servo encounters an issue (ex too hot), the servo will go limp and the LED will provide feedback
	33	* In advanced mode, the LED can be made to flash in specific circumstances

59.1	38	\|(% style="text-align:center; width:350px" %)[[image:LSS - Connectors.png\|\|queryString="width=250" width="250"]]\|There are two male four-pin 2.54mm (0.1") spaced MOLEX connectors located on either side of the servo. The connector is "keyed" to prevents mating except with a correctly oriented matching connector, and there is no locking mechanism. The pins are GND, VCC+, Rx (servo receive pin) and Tx (servo transmit pin). The order of the connector pins is reversed from one side of the servo to the other . In order to receive or send a command / signal only one side needs to be connected. The other connector need only be used when adding another servo to the chain.

The button is recessed so it is not pressed accidentally, nor is it meant to be used often, as the software interface allows for full control over these settings as well. Do not press the button too hard.
