Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary
to ensure its compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long

High Voltage Safety Instructions
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational
purposes unless it is otherwise protected.
Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where a
safe work station is not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically discharged
before touching the product with his/her hands or tools. This is most easily done by touching a
metal part of your system housing.
It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing
piggybacks, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or
memory back-up, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-
static plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or conductive
circuits on the board.
