Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Handling Notice
The discharge of static electricity can damage some electronic components. Semiconductor devices are
especially susceptible to ESD damage. You should always handle components carefully, and you should
never touch connector pins or circuit components unless you are following ESD guidelines in an
appropriate ESD-controlled area. Such guidelines include the use of properly grounded mats and wrist
straps, ESD bags and cartons, and related procedures.
Product Care
IOtech 652u and 655u are essentially maintenance free and require only a minimal amount of care. The 652u and
655u should be treated much like any other high-tech piece of equipment. In general:
The units should be operated in ventilated and relatively dust-free environments.
Keep the units clear of harsh chemicals and abrasive elements.
Avoid exposing the products to extreme heat; for example, avoid setting the units near boilers and
furnaces.
Avoid extreme shock and vibration.
Avoid subjecting the units to liquids and extremely fine air particulate, such as silica dust.
Never open the unit. The unit should only be opened by qualified service technicians.
A “common-sense” approach to handling acquisition components will go a long way in protecting them from
inadvertent damage.
Note that you can use lint-free rags and Isopropyl Alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol) to clean the outer surfaces of the
652u and 655u.
