It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing piggy-
backs, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory
backup, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-static plas-
tics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or conductive circuits
on the board.
