4a. Battery power
There are three different ways of applying power
to the EB:
The first method involves using a battery, either a
9V or a 4xAA battery pack connected to the
battery connector on the bottom side of the board
5. Set power switch
If a 3.3V source is used as described in 4b
above, the switch should be set to the leftmost
position. For all other cases, the switch should be
set to the rightmost position. This switch can be
used to turn off the EB by switching it to the
opposite position of that used to turn it on.

4b. DC power
The second method applies DC power using the
DC input jack (right in picture, centre is +, sleeve is
ground), or by connecting a 4-10V voltage source
between the 4-10V and 0V terminals of the power
connector (left in picture). It is also possible to
connect a 3.3V voltage source between the 3.3V
and 0V terminals. The on-board voltage regulators
will be bypassed in this case.
6. Packet error rate test
When power is applied to the board, the test
program will start. You should see the Chipcon
logo with chip name and revision number as shown
above on the LCD display on both EBs. Pushing
button S1 in the lower right corner of the board will
show the first menu item.

3. Plug EM into EB
EM
connectors
LCD screen
Insert a CC1110EM into both SmartRF04EBs.
The connectors will only fit in one position, so
that the EM cannot be inserted the wrong way.
Do not force the EM. Remember to mount the
antenna as well. The frequency range of the
selected EM decides which antenna to use.
Button S1
NB! Different antennas for different frequencies:
4c. USB power
The EB can also be powered from the USB bus.
Make sure that the SmartRF
installed before connecting the EB to the PC,
otherwise you may experience problems in
installing it later due to driver issues.
Note that if multiple power sources are
connected, the source with the highest voltage
will power the EB. This means that you should
disconnect any attached battery when using a
lab supply or USB power, otherwise the battery
will be drained.
7. Select Frequency
Select a frequency according to the type of EM
module in use (433 MHz, 868 MHz, 903 MHz or
915 MHz). Move the joystick up or down to
display the choices and push button S1 in the
lower right corner of the board to select the
displayed frequency.
