ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE AWARENESS
All electronic equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, some
components more than others. To protect these components from
electrostatic damage, the User must take special precautions to minimize or
eliminate electrostatic discharges.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the device.
1. Before performing maintenance on the electronic device, discharge
the static electricity on your body to ground by touching and holding a
grounded metal object (pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.).
2. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing
clothing made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend
materials as much as possible because these do not store static
electric charges as much as synthetics.
3. Keep plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam materials (such as plastic or
Styrofoam cups, cup holders, cigarette packages, cellophane
wrappers, vinyl books or folders, plastic bottles, and plastic ash trays)
away from the device, the modules, and the work area as much as
possible.
4. Do not remove any printed circuit board (PCB) from the device cabinet
unless absolutely necessary. If you must remove the PCB from the
device cabinet, follow these precautions:
Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the
components with conductive devices or with your hands.
When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic, anti-static
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install the PCB.
Immediately after removing the old PCB from the device cabinet,
place it in the anti-static protective bag.
