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