Safety Information
• Power supply used with the Tinker shall comply with relevant regulations and
applicable standards.
• DO NOT overclock the board, as this may cause damage to the board.
• Ensure that the board is placed in a well ventilated environment.
• The board should be placed on a flat, stable, non-conductive surface.
• Avoid handling the board while powered. Handle the board by the edges to
minimize risk of Electronic Static Damage (ESD).
• Do not use both the system Micro USB power-in jack and the 40-pin GPIO +5V
pins (pin 2 and 4, red) for power input at the same time. Please refer to the Top
view illustration for the location of the pins.
• If you wish to use the 40-pin GPIO +5V (pin 2 and 4, red) as a power input source,
please make sure the power input rating for each pin complies with the standard
of +5V / 3A (+/-5% deviation). A power rating value that exceeds the rating valued
mentioned, or an unstable power source may result in damage to your system or
hardware. Please refer to the Top view illustration for the location of the pins.
