A.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
system may result in permanent damage to the system and severe
injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the TUS3400. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the TUS3400 is opened and any of the electrical
components are 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 any electrical component.
Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component
is handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are
connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility
of ESD damage.
Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
