401 + The Sabertooth has a battery elimination feature (BEC). This is useful when connecting the Sabertooth to an R/C receiver as it provides 5vdc at
402 + 500mA. This BEC can power the receiver itself and a couple of servos in low power applications, such as a pan-and-tilt. However, when more
403 + powerful servos are connected to the R/C receiver, you must disable the BEC and provide a separate battery to the R/C receiver and its servos.
404 + It is also necessary to disable the BEC if you are connecting the Sabertooth to an SSC-32.</font>
405 + <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">To disable the BEC, pull the red wire out of the black housings of the CH1 <i>and</i> CH2 wires as shown in
406 + Figure 21. Be sure to cover the exposed wire with heat shrink to prevent accidental short circuits!</font></p>
