==== REMARKS ====
  * Bluetooth connection only works after GPS lock therefore you have to wait some seconds before connecting to the device. Bluetooth pairing code is 1234.
  * miniUSB connector is a Serial Port therefore the included USB cable needs to be used for programming (charging works with every standard USB cable).

==== Serial Commands ====
<blockquote>
These serial commands are known, and can be sent on the KISS serial channel or over Bluetooth. They use a variation of the ancient Hayes Modem protocol. To send a serial command, first send the carriage-return character (control-M on many terminals). Then send the entire command, followed by another carriage-return. You should see an “OK” reply on the serial interface. You must restart the AVRT5 to see the effect of your command.
