1. The specification is subject to change without prior notice.
2. As the operating temperature provided in the specifications is a result of the test performed in VIA’s
chamber, a number of variables can influence this result. Please note that the working temperature
may vary depending on the actual situation and environment. It is highly suggested to execute a
solid testing and take all the variables into consideration when building the system. Please ensure
that the system runs well under the operating temperature in terms of application.
3. Please note that the lifespan of the onboard eMMC memory chip may vary depending on the
amount of access. More frequent and larger data access on eMMC memory makes its lifespan
shorter. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use a replaceable external storage (e.g., Micro SD
card) for large data access.

A.1. Replaceable Batteries
If equipment is provided with a replaceable battery, and if replaced by an
incorrect type could result in an explosion (for example, with some lithium
batteries), the following applies:
- if the battery is placed in an OPERATOR ACCESS AREA, there shall
be a marking close to the battery or a statement in both the operating and the
servicing instructions.
- if the battery is placed elsewhere in the equipment, there shall be a
marking close to the battery or a statement in the servicing instructions.
This marking or statement shall include the following or similar text:
A.2. Classification of the Assessment Methods
The antenna of the product, under normal use condition is at least 20 cm away
from the body of the user. Warning the statement to the user for keeping at
least 20 cm separation distance and the prohibition of operating to a person
has been printed on the user’s manual. So, this product under normal use is
located on electromagnetic far field between the human bodies.
