Analog Devices EZ-Board ADSP-BF518F Manual page 3

Regulatory Compliance
The ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board is designed to be used solely in a laboratory
environment. The board is not intended for use as a consumer end prod-
uct or as a portion of a consumer end product. The board is an open
system design which does not include a shielded enclosure and therefore
may cause interference to other electrical devices in close proximity. This
board should not be used in or near any medical equipment or RF devices.
The ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board is currently being processed for certifica-
tion that it complies with the essential requirements of the European
EMC directive 89/336/EEC amended by 93/68/EEC and therefore carries
the "CE" mark.
The EZ-Board evaluation system contains ESD (electrostatic discharge)
sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the human
body and 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 EZ-Board boards in the protective ship-
ping package.
