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. </font></p></td>
