Handling Your Board Safely - Eurotech Apollo Quick Start Manual

APOLLO Windows XP Embedded Quickstart

Handling your board safely

Anti-static handling
The boards in this Development Kit contain CMOS devices. These could be damaged
in the event of static electricity being discharged through them. Please observe anti-
static precautions at all times when handling circuit boards. This includes storing
boards in appropriate anti-static packaging and wearing an earthed wrist strap when
handling them.
Battery
The board contains a Lithium non-rechargeable battery. Do not short-circuit the battery
or place it on a metal surface where the battery terminals could be shorted.
If the battery needs to be replaced, please ensure that the new part conforms to the
same specification.
Packaging
Should a board need to be returned to Eurotech Ltd, please ensure that it is
adequately packed, preferably in the original packing material.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The APOLLO is classified as a component with regard to the European Community
EMC regulations. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that systems using the board
comply with the appropriate EMC standards.
