6 PCL-841 Series User's Manual
Initial inspection
You should find the following items inside the shipping package (in
addition to this manual):
• PCL-841 Dual-port CAN Interface Card
• C Driver and DataMonitor Utility Diskette
We have carefully inspected the PCL-841 mechanically and electri-
calIy before shipping. It should be free of marks and scratches and in
perfect working order upon receipt.
As you unpack the PCL-841, check it for signs of shipping damage
(damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is damaged or it fails to
meet specifications, notify our service department or your local
representative immediately. Also notify the carrier. Retain the ship-
ping carton and packing material for inspection by the carrier. After
inspection we will make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
When you handle the PCL-841, remove it from its protective packag-
ing by grasping the rear metal panel. Keep the anti-vibration packing.
Whenever you remove the card from the PC, store it in this package
for protection.
Warning! Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to damage
from static electricity. Ground yourself before you touch the
card. We recommend that you ~use a grounded wrist strap
and place the card on a static dissipative mat wheneveryou
work with it. At the very least, touch the back of the
grounded chassis of the system unit (metal) before you
handle the board. Avoid contact with materials that hold a
static charge, such as styrofoam. Do not touch the exposed
circuit connectors.
