How do I get started?

Step 1: Installation

If the device the card is going into is AC powered, disconnect it from power before installing the card. If it is battery
operated, remove the batteries before card installation.

Insert the imp card into the imp-enabled device, with the contact end going in first. The card will only go in one
way up, so if it doesn’t slide in easily, try the other way up.

Insert this way

Indicator LED

Push the card gently until it clicks and locks into place, then connect power or insert batteries as appropriate.

The indicator LED on the imp will flash to indicate its status. If you have not used the card previously, it will be
flashing red and you will need to refer to Step 2 to setup the Wi-Fi network.
