CAUTION: RISK OF DAMAGE TO BATTERIES!
Do not attach the power tap to the battery connector. Attach to the electronic
speed control (ESC) connector only. Always disconnect the battery from the ESC
when not in use to prevent the possibility of over-discharge.
Important Note! Use the included power tap as the direct battery source for the accessory power supply. Do not connect to the accessory BEC power output on the ESC (if equipped). Connecting high-load accessories to the power supply while it is plugged directly into the ESC could overload the speed control’s BEC circuit. This may cause the speed control to go into thermal protection mode or could cause damage to the speed control.
CAUTION: RISK OF DAMAGE TO ACCESSORIES!
Note the polarity and wire color on the pre-installed wires on the power tap.
Ensure the polarity is correct during installation on the High-Current
Connector: red (+) (positive), black (-) (negative).
2 Attach the power tap to the High-Current Connector of the electronic speed control (ESC).
