1. Antenna installation — explaining the role of each component.
2. Aluminum enclosure & heat sink fins — advanced cooling design with IP66 waterproof protection.
3.Battery activation & charging — how to activate the internal battery using PD3.0 (20V) or DC input (USB-C interface demonstration + charger connection).
4. Pre-installed Meshtastic firmware — pairing and configuring the device through the mobile app.
5. Battery monitoring — checking power levels inside the Meshtastic app.

7. DFU mode setup — opening the case, double-tapping the RST button, and flashing firmware via the web flasher tool.
