4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
NANO-PV-D4252/N4552/D5252 may result in permanent damage to
the NANO-PV-D4252/N4552/D5252 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the NANO-PV-D4252/N4552/D5252. Dry climates are especially susceptible to
ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the NANO-PV-D4252/N4552/D5252 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
NANO-PV-D4252/N4552/D5252, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces
the possibility of ESD damaging the NANO-PV-D4252/N4552/D5252.

Only handle the edges of the PCB : When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
