Safety Information
 Before unpacking and installing the Development Platform or adding devices on it, carefully read all
the manuals that came with the package.
 Place the product on a stable surface. To avoid short circuits in electronics, keep all conducting
material away from the Development Platform.
 Avoid using board in extreme dust, humidity and temperature conditions. Do not place the
Development Platform in wet area.
 Before using the Development Platform, make sure that all cables are correctly connected and the
power adapter is correctly selected.
 Make sure that Electrical Outlet where you connected the power adapter is not damaged and
working fine.
 If the power adapter is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. To prevent electrical shock hazard,
disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before displacing the system.
 Don’t try to remove the Qseven SOM module from the Development platform unless really
required.
 Before connecting or removing Qseven SOM module from the Development platform, ensure that
power cable is unplugged and ESD antistatic guidelines are followed.

Unpacking Guidelines
Please follow the below guidelines while unpacking the RZ/G1H Qseven Development Platform.
Static electricity can destroy electronics in the platform. Make sure to
follow the ESD precautions to prevent damage to the platform and injury
to the user.
Wear the anti-static wristband while unpacking and handling the Development platform to
prevent electrostatic discharge.
Use anti-static pad/mat with proper grounding to place the Development platform.
