6.3.2.2 Getting Started
Precautions -
It is important to note that the EPROM chip is an
electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive device. Use all standard ESD
precautions when changing the EPROM or main PCB, including
grounding all parts and using a static wrist strap while touching the
EPROM. These precautions make sure the electrical potential of all parts
is the same.
CAUTION: There is no risk of electrocution from the Vibrex unit,
but electrostatic discharge could damage the EPROM chip.
