:::warning
Some of these boards contained the wrong component in the LiPo battery charging circuit allowing the battery to be overcharged. While this does appear to have been fixed, please see the [warning](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/community/berlin/post/warning-attention-users-of-ttgo21-v16-boards-labeled-t3_v16-on-pcb-battery-exploded-and-got-on-fire) on The Things Network for more information.

Shorting IO12 to ground will progress the screen pages, wake up the device, etc. A simple push switch can be added for this purpose.
