ISCHARGE
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may
damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of
damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
Preventing Electrostatic Damage
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
■ Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-
safe containers.
■ Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they
arrive at static-free workstations.
■ Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from
their containers.
■ Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
■ Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
