Safety Information

devices or systems. Integrators are responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter)

and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.

FCC approval of this device only covers the original configuration of this device as supplied. Any

modifications to this product, including changes shown in this document, may violate the rules of the

Federal Communications Commission and Industry Canada and make operation of the product unlawful.

2.1.1 Labeling

FCC labels are physically located on the back of the platform.

2.1.2 Operating conditions

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interference.

• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired

operation.

2.1.3 Exposure limits

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

The antenna(s) used for this equipment must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 8

inches (20 cm) from all persons.

2.1.4 Antenna restrictions

An intentional radiator is designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the responsible

party is used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that uses a unique

coupling to the intentional radiator is considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this Section.

The manufacturer may design the unit so that a broken antenna can be replaced by the user, but the use of

a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited. This requirement does not apply to carrier

current devices or to devices operated under the provisions of Sections 15.211, 15.213, 15.217, 15.219, or

15.221 of the IEEE Std. 802.15.4. In addition, this requirement does not apply to intentional radiators that

must be professionally installed, such as perimeter protection systems and some field disturbance sensors,

or to other intentional radiators which, in accordance with Section 15.31(d) of the IEEE Std. 802.15.4,

must be measured at the installation site. However, the installer is responsible for ensuring that the proper

antenna is employed so that the limits in this Part are not exceeded.

2.2 Regulatory approval for Canada (IC RSS 210)

This equipment complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to

the following two conditions:

• This platform may not cause interference.

• This platform must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired

operation of the device.

2.2.1 26 PART 5 – Appendix

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de

licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:

1. l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et

2. l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage

est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

2.3 Electrostatic discharge considerations

Although damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) is much less common on these devices than on early

CMOS circuits, normal handling precautions should be used to avoid exposure to static discharge.

Qualification tests are performed to ensure that these devices can withstand exposure to reasonable levels

of static without suffering any permanent damage.

All ESD testing is in conformity with the JESD22 Stress Test Qualification for Commercial Grade

Integrated Circuits. During the device qualification, ESD stresses are performed for the human body model

(HBM), the machine model (MM), and the charge device model (CDM).

All latch-up tests are in conformity with the JESD78 IC Latch-Up Test.

When operating or handling the development platforms or components, it is strongly recommended to use

at least the grounding wrist straps plus any, or all, of the following ESD dissipation methods:

• Flexible fabric, solid fixed size, or disposable ESD wrist straps

• Static control workstations, static control monitors, and table or floor static control systems

• Static control packaging and transportation materials and environmental systems

2.4 Disposal instructions

The NXP development platforms must be disposed of in compliance with current local waste disposal

regulations. Appliances disposal should be done by a qualified company.
