18 </b>The first step in using the Hitec Digital Servo Programmer is
19 providing power. The programmer was designed for setting up servos for use
20 in high-end equipment such as RC helicopters and planes. Because of this,
21 Hitec assumes the user already owns one of their remote control units,
22 which includes a compatible charger. Since most robot enthusiasts don't
23 have an RC radio system, an alternate method of powering the unit is
24 required. The battery that is included is a NiCd 4-cell pack. If you have
25 a way of charging this pack, then proceed to Step 2.</font>
26 <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">If not, follow these steps to provide an
27 alternate power source. Remove the left side panel and remove the NiCd
28 battery pack. There is a red (+) and a black (-) wire inside and all you
29 need to do is connect a 4-cell AA battery holder or our battery quick
30 connect with our 5-cell NiMH pack.&nbsp;</font></p></td>
