Mounting and Installation Recommendations.
Soundboard should be mounted/secured to a non metal surface.
Plastic Tubing or sleeving is recommended for lining the inner wall of your saber and or to
surround the board preventing and foreign metals to accidentally come in contact with the
board while power is applied)
A plastic mounting plate/case is recommended for attaching to an internal chassis or by
other means of securing it in the hilt to keep it stationary for proper gesture recognition.
Safety and Precautions:
DO NOT leave batteries in Saber while not in use for long periods that would allow
the batteries to completely drain.
REVERSE VOLTAGE or improper LOW VOLTAGE can damage the electronics.
Only Use the specified batteries and observe all battery precautions.

Hi Jango,
if I remember correctly the maximum board voltage was 12V for US2.0 (& US2.1?).
I think the maximum input voltage for US2.5 is 9.6V.
