The CY8CKIT-042-BLE boards contain electrostatic discharge (ESD)
sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the
human body and any equipment, which can cause a 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
CY8CKIT-042-BLE boards in the protective shipping package.
