20 </b>The lexan pieces have a protective covering that needs to be removed before assembly. When the laser cuts, the covering melts into the cut
21 edge which can make removal difficult. If you gently scrape the cut edge with a flat blade screwdriver, the covering can easily be lifted and
22 peeled off.</font>

402 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
403 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
404 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.
405 It is also necessary to disable the BEC if you are connecting the Sabertooth to an SSC-32.</font>
406 <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
407 Figure 21. Be sure to cover the exposed wire with heat shrink to prevent accidental short circuits!</font></p>
