elements / components sensitive to electrostatic discharges
This device contains electronic components sensitive to electros-
tatic discharges. They may be damaged if they are touched by an
electrostatically charged person or object. In the worst case sce-
nario, these components are instantly destroyed or go out of order
as soon as they are activated.
• To minimise or even avoid all damage due to an electrostatic
