IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ESD Warning
To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to sensitive components, make sure you are properly grounded before
touching any internal materials.
When working with any equipment manufactured with electronic devices, proper ESD grounding procedures must be
followed to make sure people, products, and tools are as free of static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive
smocks, and conductive work mats are specifically designed for this purpose. These items should not be manufactured
locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive materials to safely drain static discharges,
without increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident.
Anyone performing field maintenance should use an appropriate ESD field service kit complete with at least a dissipative
work mat with a ground cord and a UL listed adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord.
