General Precautions
Your Single Board Computer is susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharges. In order to avoid damage,
you should work at an anti-static bench and observe normal anti-static precautions. Wear an anti-static wrist
strap connected to an earth point before opening any packaging.
Where a wrist strap is not available, discharge any static charge you may have built-up by touching an earth
point. Avoid any further movement that could build up another static charge. Touch an earth point from time to
time to avoid further build-up, and remove the items from their anti-static bags only when required
PS/2 Devices
It is important that PS/2 devices (mouse and keyboard) are not connected or disconnected with the unit powered
on. Damage or data corruption may occur if this precaution is not observed.
Electro-Static Discharges
If you are going to handle the unit, it is important to realise that the devices on the cards within this unit can be
damaged by static electricity, so take anti-static precautions. Bear in mind that the damage caused by static
electricity may vary from total destruction to partial damage, which may not be immediately obvious. This
could have an effect on the product's reliability and warranty. Ideally you should work at an anti-static bench
and wear an approved wrist strap or if that is not possible, touch a suitable ground to discharge any static build
up before touching the electronics. This should be repeated if the handling continues for any length of time.
If it is necessary to remove a board or electronic assembly, place it into an anti-static bag. This will prevent any
static electricity build up damaging the board. Metallised bags are preferred. Do not use black anti-static bags
for any item containing a battery because these tend to be conductive and will discharge the battery.
On-Board Battery
The processor board is fitted with a Lithium battery. Great care should be taken with this type of battery. If the
battery is mistreated in any way there is a very real possibility of fire, explosion, and personal harm. Under NO
circumstances should it be short-circuited, exposed to temperatures in excess of 100 °C or burnt, immersed in
water, recharged or disassembled.
Expired batteries remain hazardous and must be disposed of in a safe manner, according to local regulations.
Le panneau de processeur est équipé d’une batterie de lithium. Le grand soin devrait être pris avec ce type de
batterie. Si la batterie est mistreated il y a de dans de toute façon un possibility très vrai du feu, d’expolosion et
de mal personnel. Dans au cunes circonstances il est sous peu circuité, exposé aux températures au dessus de
100 degrés de centrigrade ou brûlé, immergé dans l’eau, rechargée ou dissassambled.
Les batteries expirées restent dazaedous et doivent être reejetées d’une façon sûre, selon des règlements locaux.
