Safety Information
The CYW943907AEVAL1F EVK 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. For this reason, the board
may interfere with other electrical or electronic devices in close proximity. In a domestic environment, this product may cause
radio interference. In such cases, take adequate preventive measures. Also, do not use this board near any medical
equipment or RF devices.
Attaching additional wiring to this product or modifying the product operation from the factory default may affect its
performance and cause interference with other apparatus in the immediate vicinity. If such interference is detected, suitable
mitigating measures must be taken.
The CYW943907AEVAL1F EVK contains electrostatic discharge (ESD)-sensitive devices. Electrostatic
charges readily accumulate on the human body and any 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
CYW943907AEVAL1F in the protective shipping package.
End-of-Life/Product Recycling
This kit has an end-of-life cycle of five years from the year of manufacturing on the back of the box.
Contact your nearest recycler for discarding the kit.
General Safety Instructions
ESD Protection
ESD can damage boards and associated components. Cypress recommends that you perform procedures only at an ESD
workstation. If an ESD workstation is not available, use appropriate ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap
attached to the chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface) on the board when handling parts.
Handling Boards
CYW943907AEVAL1F 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. Do not slide the board over any surface.
Any physical action on CYW943907AEVAL1F such as changing wires, jumper settings, or measuring voltages can cause
stress on the CYW943907AEVAL1F printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). You must ensure that the PCBA has proper
support on the bottom side to avoid stress on the PCBA when the EVK is in operation.
