    1: Introduction This user guide explains how to set up and begin using the mangOH™ Red with CF3 (Common Flexible Form Factor) modules. Once you have the mangOH Red set up, visit mangoh.io for developer documentation, code samples, and other materials.
  • Page 7 (Not included in kit) The mangOH Red schematic (available at mangoh.io), describes all interfaces supported by the mangOH Red. However, some of these signals are not supported by some CF3 modules. The following table identifies supported Sierra Wireless CF3 modules and identifies signals that (as of publication date of this document) are currently not supported.
