Initial Setup
-------------

SIM Card Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

1. Make sure that the module is powered off (unplug the module from all power sources).
2. Open the module with 2mm Hex key, by unscrewing the 4 M2.5 bolts on the base of the module.
3. Insert Nano SIM card into the SIM holder (by sliding the sim holder cover).
4. Ensure SIM has active data plan.
5. Put the lid back on, and reinsert the M2.5 bolts with the 2mm Hex key.

WiFi Setup
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

1. Connect the module to a computer through the USB or the Type C port. 
2. Ensure that the correct COM port is selected. Open the serial monitor on Arduino IDE or similar applications.  
3. To reset the WiFii connection, type 'reset_wifi'. This will reset the current WiFi settings in the module. 
4. Open your phone or laptop and connect to the WiFi 'AREA65-TELEM-XXXX'.
5. Open the pop-up to connect to the WiFi you would like the module to be connected to. 
6. Press connect. 

Antenna Connection
