Caution - This electronic device is sensitive to damage from ESD (electro-
static discharge). Observe the following precautions when servicing this
device.
1. Always use a static-dissipative wrist strap. Connect the strap to a grounded, conduc-
tive surface or to the metal chassis of the equipment under repair. Use only wrist
straps that incorporate a resistor for user safety. The resistance between the user
and ground should be between 800K ohms to 10M ohms. Do not wear a wrist strap
around exposed electrical hazards of more than 250 volts.
2. If a wrist strap is not available, ground yourself before touching electronics by touch-
ing the metal chassis of the equipment or another grounded surface. Repeat fre-
quently while working.
3. If available, use a static-dissipative work mat. Connect the mat to ground and the
wrist strap to the mat.
4. Avoid contacting the connectors or any exposed electronic component.
5. Work away from materials that may contribute to the generation of static electricity,
such as synthetic carpeting.
6. Minimize your movements to avoid building up static charge.
7. Avoid working on electronics in areas with very low humidity.
8. Do not work on electronics during periods of lightning activity.
9. Do not ship or store this device near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic,
or radioactive elds.
