ensure that a personal
connection to earth is made with an anti-static wrist-strap
or

Always handle PCBs by their sides and avoid touching any components. PCBs should also
be stored in a clean dry place, which is free from vibration, dust and excessive heat and is
protected from mechanical damage.
