Robot Controller Digital Input

The RC Digital Input is Not active (off) and set at +5V when it is not connected to ground.

The RC Digital Input is Active (On) when It is tied to ground, at 0V.


What happens when I apply an analog signal to this, from ranges from 0 to 5 volts? Does this mean that If I apply a 1.5V signal to the digital input, will the RC still think it is (Off), and thus Not Active? Obviously, If I put a 0V signal this is ground, and this is enough to trip the digital inputs?

The FullSize RC reference manual says, I can't apply a positive voltage to any of the digital inputs.. But I don't exactly know why they say we can't.

thanks for any help.
