i. 

To run the DEMO application, just plug the Xkit to the Arduino 

board.
ii. 

Connect the external antenna to Xkit.

iii. 

Configure the jumpers on Xkit instructed in Section 1.b  (if power 

from Arduino) or Section 1.c (if power from battery).
iv.  The DEMO application is now running.

The Arduino board supplied with the Xkit is pre-flashed with a DEMO application that send a message containing the temperature 

value, the output voltage from the photovoltaic sensor, the pressure value and the acceleration every 10 minutes.

The same message will also be sent if a magnet is close to the reed switch or the button on Xkit is pressed.
