Electrostatic Discharge Hazards
Electronic equipment is sensitive to static electricity. To protect these components from damage caused by static electricity, special precautions must be taken to minimize or prevent electrostatic discharge.
Observe these safety precautions while you work with the equipment or in its vicinity.
- Before performing maintenance or repair work, ensure that the static electricity inherent to your body is discharged.
- Do not wear clothing made from synthetic materials to prevent static electricity from building up. Your clothing should therefore be made of cotton or cotton mix materials.
- Keep plastics such as vinyl and Styrofoam materials as far away from the equipment as possible.
- Do not remove the circuit boards from the housing of the device.
