+Assembly & getting started
+****************************
+
+If you have received the assembled BioAmp EXG Pill then you can skip the steps below. But, if you got the unassembled one, follow the steps below to assemble your Pill:
+
+.. grid:: 1 1 1 1
+    :margin: 2 2 0 0 
+    :gutter: 2
+
+    .. grid-item::
+
+        .. card::
+
+            **Step 1: Solder Connectors**
+            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+            .. figure:: media/assembly-step1.*
+
+            Insert the provided BioAmp cable's JST connector and header pins from top as shown in the image and solder them from below.
+
+        .. card::
+            :img-bottom: media/assembly-step2.*
+
+            **Step 2 (optional): Configure for ECG/EMG**
+            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+            Optionally you can configure BioAmp EXG Pill to record EMG or ECG by making a solder joint as shown in the image on the right.
+
+        .. card::
+            :img-bottom: media/assembly-step3.*
+
+            **Step 3: Connect MCU/ADC**
+            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+            Connect VCC to 5V, GND to GND, and OUT to ADC IN of your favorite MCU/ADC board via jumper cables provided by us.
+
+            .. warning:: Take precautions while connecting to power, if power pins are to be swapped, your BioAmp EXG Pill will be fried and it’ll become unusable(DIE).
+
+        .. card::
+            :img-bottom: media/Basic-Circuit.*
+
+            **Step 3: Make the connections**
+            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+            Connect the BioAmp Cable to the EXG Pill and then to the electrodes. Place the electrodes according to your recording biopotential signal.
