Safety Information
The CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit is intended for development
purposes only. Users are advised to test and evaluate this kit in an RF development environment.
This kit is not a finished product and when assembled may not be resold or otherwise marketed
unless all required authorizations are first obtained. Contact support@cypress.com for details.
CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A boards contain ESD-sensitive devices.
Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the human body and any
equipment, and can discharge without detection. Permanent damage
may occur on devices subjected to high-energy discharges. Proper
ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation
or loss of functionality. Store unused CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A boards in
the protective shipping package.
End-of-Life/Product Recycling
The end-of-life cycle for this kit is five years from the date of
manufacture mentioned on the back of the box. Contact your nearest
recycler to discard the kit.
General Safety Instructions
ESD Protection
ESD can damage boards and associated components. Cypress recommends that the user perform
procedures only at an ESD workstation. If an ESD workstation is not available, use appropriate ESD
protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to the chassis ground (any unpainted metal
surface) on the board when handling parts.
Handling Boards
CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A boards are sensitive to ESD. Hold the board only by its edges. After removing
the board from its box, place it on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if
available. Do not slide the board over any surface.

Battery Care and Use
Use the correct size and type of battery specified in this guide.
Keep battery contact surfaces and battery compartment contacts clean by rubbing them with a
clean pencil eraser or a rough cloth each time you replace batteries.
Remove the battery from a device when it is not expected to be in use for several months.
Make sure that you insert the battery into your device properly, with the + (plus) and – (minus)
terminals aligned correctly.
Do not place the battery next to metallic objects such as keys and coins.
Never throw the battery into fire.
Do not open up the battery.
Do not short the battery.
Do not subject the battery to high temperatures or high humidity.
Store the battery in a dry place.
Do not recharge a battery unless it is marked “rechargeable.”
Battery Disposal
Batteries can be safely disposed with normal household waste. Never dispose batteries in fire
because they can explode. It is important not to dispose large amounts of batteries in a group. Used
batteries are often not completely “dead.” Grouping used batteries together can bring these “live”
batteries into contact with one another, creating safety risks.
