2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the TANK-800 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the TANK-800. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the TANK-800 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 TANK-800, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the TANK-800.

When the TANK-800 is unpacked, please do the following:
ƒ Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in
Section 2.1
.
ƒ
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the TANK-800 does not fall
