WARNING
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions
from digital apparatus set out in the radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications. (Le present appareil numerique n’emet pas de
bruits radioelectriques depassant les limites applicables aux appareils numeriques
(de las class A) prescrites dans le Reglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique
edicte par le ministere des Communications du Canada.)
IMPORTANT
Perform the installation under static control conditions. Simply walking across a rug
can generate a static charge of 20,000 volts. This is the spark or shock you may
have felt when touching a doorknob or some other conductive item. A much
smaller static discharge is likely to completely destroy one or more of the CMOS
semiconductors employed in OPTIMOD-FM. Static damage will not be covered
under warranty.
There are many common sources of static. Most involve some type of friction
between two dissimilar materials. Some examples are combing your hair, sliding
across a seat cover or rolling a cart across the floor. Since the threshold of human
perception for a static discharge is 3000, many damaging discharges will not even
be noticed.
Basic damage prevention consists of minimizing generation, discharging any
accumulated static charge on your body or work station and preventing that
discharge from being sent to or through an electronic component. A static
grounding strap (grounded through a protective resistor) and a static safe
workbench with a conductive surface should be used. This will prevent any buildup
or damaging static.
