Introduction
Handling your board safely
Anti-static handling
This board contains CMOS devices that could be damaged in the event of static
electricity being discharged through them. At all times, please observe anti-static
precautions when handling the board. This includes storing the board in appropriate
anti-static packaging and wearing a wrist strap when handling the board.
Battery
The board contains a lithium non-rechargeable battery. Do not short circuit the battery
or place on a metal surface where the battery terminals could be shorted. During
shipment the battery is isolated from the board’s circuitry and should be connected
before using the board.
When disposing of the board or battery, take appropriate care. Do not incinerate, crush
or otherwise damage the battery.
Packaging
Please ensure that, should a board need to be returned to Arcom, it is adequately
packed, preferably in the original packing material.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
The APOLLO is classified as a component with regard to the European Community
EMC regulations and it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that systems using the
board are compliant with the appropriate EMC standards.
