Page 3: General Precautions
General Precautions 1. Precaution against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) A strong electrical field, when exposed to a CMOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must be taken to stop the generation of static electricity as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it when it occurs. - Page 4 Not pictured are two USB A to Micro B Cables and a 5V output 2A 12w power adapter, as well as this Quick Start Guide (QSG). If any components from the box are missing or damaged, contact your local sales representative or the Renesas Electronics office for assistance.
