3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL4-W10/W12/12/W13-EHL may result in permanent damage to the
AFL4-W10/W12/12/W13-EHL and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL4-W10/W12/12/W13-EHL. Dry climates are especially susceptible to
ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever AFL4-W10/W12/12/W13-EHL 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 AFL4-W10/W12/12/W13-EHL,
place it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging
the AFL4-W10/W12/12/W13-EHL.
▪ Only handle the edges of the PCB : When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
