Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Palm Device
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic devices if discharged into the
device, so you should take steps to avoid such an occurrence.
Description of ESD
Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the
surface of a material. To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than
annoyances. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up
electrons on your body, you may get a shock—the discharge event—when you touch a metal
doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.
ESD-susceptible equipment
Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices,
take measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your Palm
®
smartphone or
headset, from ESD harm. While Palm has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD
unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your
equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for plugging in
