4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
WAFER-ULT3/ULT4 may result in permanent damage to the
WAFER-ULT3/ULT4 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER-ULT3/ULT4. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the WAFER-ULT3/ULT4 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 WAFER-ULT3/ULT4, place it
on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WAFER-ULT3/ULT4.

Only handle the edges of the PCB :-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
