•
The power cord must include a grounded plug and must be plugged into a grounded
electrical outlet.
•
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid
making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when
using metal tools, which can easily damage electrical components or circuit boards they
come into contact with.
ESD Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges
coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this
difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The following
measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect
your equipment from ESD.
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Discharge static electricity from your body by touching a known grounded surface, such
as a computer’s metal chassis.
•
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their anti-static bags until
ready for use.
•
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners, and the
printed circuit boards.
Battery Precautions
•
Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a
battery, that can result in an explosion.
•
Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can
result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
•
A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that may result in an explosion or the
leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
•
Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that can defeat a safeguard.
