Handling Precautions
Handling
1. Take care when handling these modules as they can be easily damaged.
2. Always observe anti-static precautions.
Damage through electric fields or electrostatic discharge
Electric fields or electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions through damaged individual
components, integrated circuits, modules or devices.
3. Only pack, store, transport electronic components, modules or devices in their
original packaging or in other suitable materials, e.g. conductive foam or anti-static
bags.
4. Ensure that the user is discharged prior to handling any modules. This can be achieved
by touching an earthed surface such as a control cabinet, for example.
