is there any way to program the V3.1 1s without the program box? or does it ship in blinky mode?

i ordered what i thought was going to be a refurbished 2.1 1s which I would have been happy with and received a shrinkwrapped v3.1 1s instead. definitely happy though seems to not be roar approved? lol.

I do plan to buy the box for it but was hoping to get this going for friday. this town is mostly tekin.
