ESD Protection

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage to
electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected against ESD
for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product by
delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting
any objects inside the equipment housing.

To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself:

-

Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and
protected ESD workbench.

-

When an ESD workbench is not available, ground yourself to the
equipment chassis with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord.

-

If you are unable to take either of the above precautions, touch a
conductive part of the equipment chassis with your other hand before
touching ESD sensitive components.

-

Always hold component boards by the edges and avoid touching the
component contacts.

Recycling

Recycle all applicable material.

Dispose of batteries and the unit according to statutory regulations.
Do not dispose of with regular household refuse.
