Installing Your Smart Trac AC1

WARNING

WARNING -- ESD

ESD

Keep electronic circuit boards in Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
protective bags when not being handled. Use proper ESD
procedures (including an ESD wrist strap) when handling circuit
boards. Failure to comply may result in damage to equipment.

When working with an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) device, you should be
grounded at all times. The easiest and most common way to provide this ground
is to use an approved ESD wrist strap. The strap is secured to your wrist with a
wire attached to the strap and clipped or taped to the chassis of the unit being
worked on. Any static is dissipated through the wire to ground, greatly reducing
the possibility of damage to the device.

It is a good idea to touch the chassis with your finger before handling any
electrostatic sensitive device. Any static electricity will be discharged to chassis
ground and will not be transferred to the device.

Always store devices (cards, other electronic components) in ESD protective
bags when not being handled.
