The shipped version of this board complies with the requirements
of the EEC directive 89/336/EEC with regard to "Electromagnetic
compatibility".
Compliance was tested in a typical PC configuration.
When installing the board, refer to the specific installation
information in the Operating Manual or Technical Manual of the
receiving device.
“ - „Replacing the lithium battery“.
Connecting cable for peripherals must be adequately insulated to avoid
interference.
The heat sink can become very hot during operation. Make sure you do
!
not touch modules when adding components to the system board. There
is a danger of burns!
The warranty expires if the device is damaged during the installation or
i
