  1. Turn off the Qwerk.

  2. Plug the AC power adapter into the Qwerk.

  3. Locate the row of pins labeled RC SERVOS and plug the seven servo wires into the ports. Align the black wire with ground (-), the red wire with power (+), and the yellow wire with signal (S). Begin with Port 0.

  5. Unplug the servos after you have tested them.
