5.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the device and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components. Dry

following anti-static precautions when any electrical component is handled.
ƒ
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.
ƒ
Use an anti-static pad : When configuring, place on an antic-static pad. This
reduces the possibility of ESD damage.
ƒ
Only handle the edges of the PCB :-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
