CAUTION: a There is potential to cause electrostatic damage to electronic components. Before handling electronic
com po nents, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object.
The circuit boards in the MX/DDC-100 contain components that are subject to damage from electrostatic •
discharge (static electricity). The following precautions and procedures are recommended when handling
circuit boards and components. Failure to observe these practices when handling and shipping circuit board
products may void your warranty.
Keep plastics and other materials prone to the buildup of electrostatic charges (static electricity) away from
•
boards, components, and work area.
Avoid synthetic or wool clothing; wear cotton or cotton blend materials. Keep components and circuit boards
•
away from clothing and hair.
Discharge static electricity on your body by touching and momentarily holding a grounded metal object before
•
handling electronic components. This is especially important after walking across carpeted areas.
Handle components in the field as little as necessary.
•
Handle components only by the edges, and avoid contact with leads, circuits, or connectors. •
Do not touch the surface of the printed circuit board, the connectors, or the components with conductive •
devices or with your hands.
Always place the component or board into an anti-static protective bag for transportation or storage.
•
Transport all static-sensitive components only in static-shielding carriers or packages. Place static awareness •
labels on all components to prevent removal from static-shielding container during transit.
Handle all static-sensitive components at a static-safe work area including floor mat, wrist strap, air ionizer,
•
ground cord, and conductive table mat.
Do not subject components to sliding movements over any surface, at any time.
