INFORMATION
Equipment Safety
Handling Static-sensitive Devices
Some of the components in the Constellation radio are sensitive to static
electricity, or electrostatic discharge (ESD) and thus can be damaged or
destroyed by ESD that builds up in your body through routine activity. ESD-
sensitive components are marked with one of the following symbols:
Before working on the Constellation, discharge
any static electricity you may be carrying. Handle
the equipment in a static-free environment and
use a grounding wrist strap or a heel strap.
Handling Connectors
Avoid touching the edge connectors with your
fingers.
Do not touch the optical connector face with your
fingers.
Long-term Storage
The Constellation contains moisture-sensitive devices (MSDs) that are shipped
in vacuum-sealed packages for protection. Moisture can build up in the MSDs
when they are not powered up or not in active use and thus damage sensitive
components.
• Store MSDs that are not being used in a dry place.
• Rotate the MSDs every two years.
