Connex CS Admin Guide Safety warnings and cautions 9
General safety considerations
• If the system detects a recoverable problem, it displays an exception message on-
screen. Contact Welch Allyn technical support for additional information.
• If the system detects an unrecoverable problem, it displays an error message. For
more information see
“Troubleshooting” on page 125.
• To ensure patient safety, use only accessories recommended or supplied by Welch
Allyn. (See the accessories list on the user documentation CD or
www.welchallyn.com.) Always use accessories according to your facility’s standards
and according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions. Always
follow the manufacturer’s directions for use.
• Welch Allyn recommends that only Welch Allyn service personnel or an authorized
repair center perform warranty service. Performing unauthorized service on a device
that is within warranty may void the warranty.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge is a sudden current flowing from a charged object to another
object or to ground. Electrostatic charges can accumulate on common items such as
foam drinking cups, cellophane tape, synthetic clothing, untreated foam packaging
material, and untreated plastic bags and work folders, to name only a few.
Electronic components and assemblies, if not properly protected against ESD, can be
permanently damaged or destroyed when near or in contact with electrostatically charged
objects. When you handle components or assemblies that are not in protective bags and
you are not sure whether they are static-sensitive, assume that they are static-sensitive
and handle them accordingly.
• Perform all service procedures requiring disassembly of computers (e.g. installing a
replacement hard disk drive) in a static-protected environment. Always use
techniques and equipment designed to protect personnel and equipment from
electrostatic discharge.
• Remove static-sensitive components and assemblies from their static-shielding bags
only at static-safe workstations - ensuring that the person performing these activities
is at the same ground potential as the device being serviced.
• Use of a properly grounded table and grounded floor mat, including the wearing of a
grounded wrist strap (with a resistor of at least 1 megohm in series) or other
grounding device is recommended.
Caution Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic
components. Handle static-sensitive components only at static-safe workstation.
Caution Assume that all electrical and electronic components of the monitor
are static-sensitive.
