of required design-, marketing-, and/or manufacturing-related protective considerations,
including product safety measures typically found in the end product incorporating the
goods. As a prototype, this product does not fall within the scope of the European Union
directive on electromagnetic compatibility and therefore may not meet the technical
requirements of the directive.

Should this evaluation kit not meet the specifications indicated in the EVM User’s Guide,
the kit may be returned within 30 days from the date of delivery for a full refund. THE
FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY MADE BY SELLER TO
BUYER AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR

goods. Please be aware that the products received may not be regulatory compliant or
agency certified  (FCC, UL, CE, etc.). Due to the open construction of the product, it is
the user’s responsibility to take any and all appropriate precautions with regard to
electrostatic discharge.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH ABOVE, NEITHER
PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

TI currently deals with a variety of customers for products, and therefore our arrangement
with the user is not exclusive.

TI assumes no liability for applications assistance, customer product design,
software performance, or infringement of patents or services described herein
.

Please read the EVM User’s Guide and, specifically, the EVM Warnings and Restrictions
notice in the EVM User’s Guide prior to handling the product. This notice contains
important safety information about temperatures and voltages. For further safety
concerns, please contact the TI application engineer.

Persons handling the product must have electronics training and observe good laboratory
practice standards.
