1.4 ELECTROSTATIC WARNING
The PIC32-HMZ144 board is shipped in protective anti-static packaging. The board must not be
subject to high electrostatic potentials. General practice for working with static sensitive devices
should be applied when working with this board.
The product box includes 4 rubber feet – it is recommended to place them in the holes near the
edges of the board. This way the board would be safe if placed on conductive surfaces!
