Take the neck stand and unplug the black servo cable 

from the socket on the left of the test board. Plug the 

cable leading to this stage’s servo in its place.

HELP!

If the LEDs flash rapidly when 

you run the test at Step 14, you 

have a faulty connection. 

Double-check the servo cable’s 

connection to the socket on the 

test board, TURNING THE 

POWER PACK OFF BEFORE 

YOU DO. If the light still flashes, 

carefully unscrew the servo 

housing and check that the 

internal connector plug is in 

place. If you pressed the wrong 

button, reset the board by 

holding down the TEST/SET 

switch for several seconds.

9

The shaft at the top of the servo casing should rotate 45 degrees to the left, 

stop, then move back across to 45 degrees to the right. After you have run 

the test, turn off the power switch on the battery pack.

TESTING THE SERVO

7

Turn the test board to ON. All the LEDs should blink 

twice, then turn off to leave only number 1 lit.

8

Now press the TEST/SET switch 

briefly to run the servo test.

Units

Tens

10

Re-familiarise yourself with the lights and switches on the test board, which you 

have used to set the servos’ ID numbers. Each time you press the UP switch, the ID 

number increases by one, and the result is displayed by the two banks of LED 

lights. The top row reads in tens and the bottom in units. For example, to set the ID 

to 21, press UP 20 times. This will light up the 20 LED and the 1 LED. (If you 

overshoot, press the DOWN switch to take it down one step at a time.) When the 

ID number is correct, you set it by pressing and holding the TEST/SET switch.
