Safety Information

The CYW920735Q60EVB-01 Evaluation Board (EVB) is intended for use as a development platform for hardware or
software in a laboratory environment. The board is an open-system design, which does not include a shielded enclosure.
Due to this reason, the board may cause interference to other electrical or electronic devices in close proximity. In a domestic
environment, this product may cause radio interference. In such cases, take adequate preventive measures. Also, do not
use this board near any medical equipment or RF devices.
Attaching additional wiring to this product or modifying the product operation from the factory default may affect its
performance and cause interference with other apparatus in the immediate vicinity. If such interference is detected, suitable
mitigating measures must be taken.
CYW920735Q60EVB-01 contains electrostatic discharge (ESD)-sensitive devices. Electrostatic
charges readily accumulate on the human body and any equipment, and can discharge without
detection. Permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy discharges. Proper
ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. Store
unused CYW920735Q60EVB-01 in the protective shipping package.
End-of-Life/Product Recycling
This kit has an end-of-life cycle of five years from the year of manufacturing mentioned on the back
of the box. Contact your nearest recycler for discarding the kit.

General Safety Instructions

ESD Protection

ESD can damage boards and associated components. Cypress recommends that you perform procedures only at an ESD
workstation. If an ESD workstation is not available, use appropriate ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap
attached to the chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface) on the board when handling parts.

Handling Boards

CYW920735Q60EVB-01 boards are sensitive to ESD. Hold the board only by its edges. After removing the board from its
box, place it on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available. Do not slide the board over any
surface. Any physical action on CYW920735Q60EVB-01 such as changing wires, jumper settings, or measuring voltages
can cause stress on the CYW920735Q60EVB-01 printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). You must ensure that the PCBA
has proper support on the bottom side to avoid stress on the PCBA when the EVB is in operation.
