connected to a PC.
„ Always connect and disconnect the ToolStick from the PC by holding the large plastic connector.
Figure 1. Proper Insertion
„ Avoid directly touching any of the other components.
Figure 2. Improper Insertion
„ Manipulate mechanical devices on the daughter cards, such as potentiometers, with care to prevent the base
adapter or daughter card from accidentally dislodging from their socket.
