A.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the FPC7160/ FPC7162 may result in
permanent damage to the FPC7160/ FPC7162 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including
the FPC7160/ FPC7162. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical
that whenever the FPC6084 is opened and any of the electrical components are handled, the following
anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
-Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can help to prevent ESD
from damaging any electrical component.
-Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the electrical component is handled, frequently touch any conducting
materials that are connected to the ground.
-Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical component, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damage.
-Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the electrical component,
hold the electrical component by its edges.
