+== Specifications
+
+ The TeleLaunch system can handle up to 99 banks with each bank
+ having up to 8 pads, for a total of 792 pads.
+
+ Each unit in the TeleLaunch system is water-resistant, but is not
+ intended to be directly immersed in water. Brief rain showers during
+ a launch should pose no problem, but it's recommended to cover units
+ or bring them inside when not in use or during extended periods of
+ bad weather.
+
+ TeleLCO uses an internal single-cell 2Ah Lithium Polymer battery,
+ which is sufficient for multiple days of typical operation. This
+ battery is charged over USB.
+
+ TeleFire uses an internal sealed lead-acid 12V battery, which is
+ charged by an external charger attached through the PowerPole
+ connector on the rear panel.
+
+ Pyro initiation uses the 12V sealed lead-acid battery. Current
+ to any pad can exceed 30A, and with typical igniters every pad on
+ a TeleFire can be successfully included in a drag race. The system
+ controls current flow to prevent damage, and has a self-resetting
+ circuit breaker for ultimate protection should something go badly
+ wrong.
+
+ TeleLaunch uses AES encryption with a shared key between each unit
+ in the system to ensure the integrity of safe launch operations.
+
+ The TeleLaunch system uses radio frequency communications in the
+ vicinity of 435 Mhz. A US amateur radio license or equivalent
+ authorization is required to legally use the system. The operating
+ frequency should be chosen to avoid conflict with other devices, or
+ put differently, nothing else should be operating on the same
+ frequency while TeleLaunch is in use.
