The manufacturer’s instructions provide useful information on your KISS 4U-
Platform.
Note on the Warranty
Due to their limited service life, parts which by their nature are subject to a
particularly high degree of wear (wearing parts) are excluded from the warranty
beyond that provided by law. This applies to batteries, for example.
Exclusion of Accident Liability Obligation
Kontron Embedded Computers shall be exempted from the statutory accident
liability obligation if the user fails to observe the “General Safety Instructions for IT
Equipment” included and the hints in this manual and on the device.
Liability Limitation / Exemption from the
Warranty Obligation
In the event of damage to the device caused by failure to observe the hints in this
manual or on the device and the included “General Safety Instructions for IT
Equipment”, Kontron Embedded Computers shall not be required to honor the
warranty even during the warranty period and shall be exempted from the
statutory accident liability obligation.

Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions
Please consider the included “General Safety Instructions for IT Equipment”.
If at the rear side of the system (power supply area) is attached a
hazard warning sign, please observe especially the appropriate
instructions in the chapter “DC Connection”.
Operation of Laser Source Devices
Fig. 1: Warning about laser radiation
The optional CD ROM and DVD drives contain light-emitting diodes (classified in
accordance with EN 60825-1/A2.2001: LASER CLASS 1) and therefore must not
be opened.
If the enclosure of such a drive is opened, invisible laser radiation is emitted. Do
not allow yourself to be exposed to this radiation.
The laser system meets the code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR, 1040 for the
USA and the Canadian Radiation Emitting Devices Act, REDR C 1370.

Safety Instructions
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices
or micro-circuitry. Therefore proper packaging and grounding techniques are
necessary precautions to prevent damage. Always take the following precautions:
1. Transport boards in ESD-safe containers such as boxes or bags.
2. Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at the
ESD-safe workplace.
3. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or
assembly.
4. Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on antistatic
mats.
Grounding Methods
The following measures help to avoid electrostatic damages to the device:
1. Cover workstations with approved antistatic material. Always wear a wrist
strap connected to workplace as well as properly grounded tools and
equipment.
2. Use antistatic mats, heel straps, or air ionizers for more protection.
3. Always handle electrostatically sensitive components by their edge or by their
casing.
4. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
5. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or
connecting test equipment.
6. Keep work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic
assembly aids and styrofoam.
7. Use field service tools such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuum cleaners
which are conductive.
8. Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.
