  • Page 6: Safety Information

    Safety Information The CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit 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 with other electrical or electronic devices in close proximity.
  • Page 7 Handling Boards CY8CKIT-042-BLE 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.
  • Page 8 The kit contains devices that transmit and receive radio signals in accordance with the spectrum regulations for the 2.4-GHz unlicensed frequency range. Cypress Semiconductor Corporation has obtained regulatory approvals for this kit to be used in specific countries. These countries include United States (FCC Part 15), Canada (IC RSS210) and Japan (JRF/ TELEC).
