3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL3-W19A-AL may result in permanent damage to the
AFL3-W19A-AL and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL3-W19A-AL. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL3-W19A-AL is accessed internally, or any other
electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered
to.

Wear an anti-static wristband : Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.

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.

Use an anti-static pad : When configuring the AFL3-W19A-AL, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL3-W19A-AL.

Only handle the edges of the PCB : When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
