3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
IKARPC-W10A-BT may result in permanent damage to the
IKARPC-W10A-BT and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IKARPC-W10A-BT. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the IKARPC-W10A-BT 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 IKARPC-W10A-BT, place it
on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IKARPC-W10A-BT.

Only handle the edges of the PCB
: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
