The following precautions must be considered:
ESD Note: Circuit devices are sensitive to static electricity, which can damage their delicate
electronics. Dry weather conditions or walking across a carpeted floor may cause you to
acquire a static electrical charge. To protect your device, always:
-
Touch the metal chassis of your computer to ground the static electrical charge
before you pick up the circuit device.
-
Pick up the device by holding it on the left and right edges only.
Note: The switch is an indoor device. If it is to be used with outdoor devices such as outdoor
IP cameras or outdoor WiFi APs, then users are strongly suggested to install a surge protector
or surge suppressor in order to protect the switch.
