=======================

Starter Kit Assembly
--------------------

The starter kit includes the following items:

* 1 x VAB-820
* 1 x VAB-820-A
* 1 x RTC battery
* 1 x AC adapter
* 1 x Power cord
* 1 x DC-in cable
* 2 x Transmittal cable
* 1 x Audio cable
* 1 x COM2/CAN converter cable
* 1 x 10.4” LCD panel including PCAP touch screen (optional)
* 1 x USB cable (optional)
* 1 x LVDS cable (optional)
* 1 x backlight power cable (optional)

Connecting the VAB-820-A
------------------------

Firmly attach the 2 connectors J7A & J8A on the bottom of the VAB-820-A
daughter board with the pin headers J7 & J8 on the VAB-820 mainboard. Then,
plug one end of the transmittal cable to the COM connector on the VAB-820-
A daughter board, and the other end of the transmittal cable to the COM
connector on the bottom side of the mainboard.
