+== 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.
