Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the S19A/S24A-QM87i. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the S19A/S24A-QM87i 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 S19A/S24A-QM87i, place it on
an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
S19A/S24A-QM87i.
