CAUTION
This equipment contains parts and assemblies sensitive to electrostatic discharge

sensitive parts and assemblies, or damage to components could result.
An electrostatic-sensitive device can only withstand voltage spikes of 10 to 100 volts.
Any discharge greater than this can damage or effectively destroy such a device while
going unnoticed by a technician. Common plastics (synthetic insulating materials),
clothing, and paper or cardboard are the most common source of static charges.
