   - Now connect a multimeter to **check the power consumption**. Press the button when the device starts up. The device will blink some seconds very fast and then go to power down mode. **The device should draw only ~0.1µA.** If the current is much higher, you may have a short circuit somewhere.   - Now connect a multimeter to **check the power consumption**.

   - Solder the debug TX pin, the RFM12B module and antenna with a soldering iron as usual.   - Solder the debug TX pin, the RFM12B module and antenna with a soldering iron as usual.
 +  - Switch on the device and check power consumption again. With connected RFM12, it should now be ~1.7µA.
