WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL3-W15B-H81 may result in permanent damage to the
AFL3-W15B-H81 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL3-W15B-H81. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL3-W15B-H81 is accessed internally, or any other
electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered
to.
ƒ
Wear an anti-static wristband
: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
ƒ
Self-grounding
: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
ƒ
Use an anti-static pad
: - When configuring the AFL3-W15B-H81, place it on
an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL3-W15B-H81.
ƒ
Only handle the edges of the PCB
: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
