unintentional additions of lead, mercury, hex chrome, PBB or PBDB that ex-
ceed a maximum concentration value of 0.1% by weight or for cadmium exceed
0.01% by weight, per homogenous material. Homogenous material is dened
as a substance or mixture of substances with uniform composition (such as sol-
ders, resins, plating, etc.). Lead-free solder is used for all terminations (Sn(96-
96.5%), Ag(3.0-3.5%) and Cu(0.5%)).

Warning
Single Board Computers and their components contain very delicate
Integrated Circuits (IC). To protect the Single Board Computer and its
components against damage from static electricity, you should always follow the
following precautions when handling it:
1. Disconnect your Single Board Computer from the power source when you
want to work on the inside.
2. Hold the board by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or
circuitry.
3. Use a grounded wrist strap when handling computer components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that comes
with the Single Board Computer, whenever components are separated from
the system.
Replacing the Lithium Battery
Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion.
The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not throw lithium batteries into the trash-can. It must be disposed of in
