Step 1: Attaching the Screen

• Your Bitaxe 1366 comes with the screen detached to ensure its protection during delivery.
• Carefully attach the screen to the unit using the provided fixtures.

Step 2: Power Connection

• Plug the power cable into a wall outlet. The Bitaxe 1366 is designed to work with any voltage worldwide.
• Connect the other end of the power cable to your Bitaxe 1366.

Step 3: Initial Boot-Up

Wait for the screen to display "Bitaxe_XXXX". This indicates the unit is ready for setup.

Step 4: Connecting to Wi-Fi

• On your smartphone or computer, search for available Wi-Fi networks.
• Connect to the "Bitaxe_XXXX" network. Please be patient as this might take a minute.
• If prompted to continue connecting without internet access, select 'YES'.

Step 5: AxeOS Setup

• Once connected, a web page should automatically open for setup
• In AxeOS, navigate to 'Settings'.
• Enter your Wi-Fi details:
  • Wi-Fi ID: Enter your 2.4G Wi-Fi SSID. (Contact your internet provider if unsure about your Wi-Fi frequency).

Step 6: Customizing Your Miner
