3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
POC-17C-ULT3 may result in permanent damage to the
POC-17C-ULT3 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the POC-17C-ULT3. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the POC-17C-ULT3 is accessed internally, or any other electrical
component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
ƒ
Wear an anti-static wristband
: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
ƒ
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 the POC-17C-ULT3, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the POC-17C-ULT3.
ƒ
Only handle the edges of the PCB
: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Installation Precautions
When installing the medical panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below:
ƒ
