Moisture Sensitivity
The module belongs to moisture sensitive device (IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C Level III). If it is
not used by then, we strong recommended storing the GNSS modules in dry places such as dry
cabinet. The approximate shelf life for LOCOSYS GNSS modules packages is 6 months from
the bag seal date, when store in a non
‐
condensing storage environment (<30°C/60% RH)

ESD Handling
Please carefully follow the following precautions to prevent severe damage to
GNSS modules.
LOCOSYS GNSS modules are sensitive to electrostatic discharges, and thus are Electrostatic
Sensitive Devices (ESD). Careful handling of the GNSS modules and in particular RFIN pin
must follow the standard ESD safety protections:
Unless there is a galvanic coupling between the local GND and the PCB GND, then the
first point of contact when handling the PCB shall always be between the local GND and
PCB GND.
Before working with RFIN pin, please make sure the GND is connected
When working with RFIN pin, do not contact any charges capacitors or materials that can
easily develop or store charges such as patch antenna, coax cable, soldering iron.
When soldering RFIN pin, please make sure to use an ESD safe soldering iron (tip).
