Electro Static Discharge (ESD) Precautions
All semiconductor devices are sensitive to ESD. To prevent any damage or
degradation on components of the product caused by ESD, observe these
precautions when directed to do so (installing, removing sensitive
components):
1.
Use a Ground Strap. Wear a grounded anti-static wrist or heel strap to discharge the
static voltage from your body.
2.
Use a Safe Work Area. Avoid handling components in areas that have a floor or work
surface covering capable of generating a static charge. Also nothing capable of
generating or holding a static charge should be allowed in the work area.
3.
Handle ESD sensitive components carefully. Do not slide components over any surface.
Do not touch exposed connector pins. Pick-up components by the body, never by the
leads.
4.
Transport and store sensitive components or assemblies in a static-protected bag or
container.
Battery Use Warnings
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly placed. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard
used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
