2.1.4
Electrostatic discharge awareness
The XDi is protected against static electric discharges, but it is recommended to protect the
unit against static electric discharges during the installation and when connected to a PC or
laptop for library upgrade.
Once the unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.
2.1.5
Factory settings
The XDi unit is delivered from factory with a preinstalled indicator library with certain default
parameter settings. These are not necessarily the correct settings for matching the ship
system in question. Precautions must be taken to check the settings before running the ship.
