INTRODUCTION
The SBS-2300 is ready to program as soon as you
connect it to a ter minal or PC a nd apply pow er. This

section helps out on the most com mon pro blems.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
The SBS-2300 is designed to handle a wide variety of
tempera ture range s and operating conditions. These
character istics require using C MOS components.
CM OS is static sensitive. T o avoid damaging these
components, observe the following precautions before
handling the SBS-2300.
1. Ground yourself before handling the SBS-2300
or plugging in cables. Static electricity can
easily arc through cables and to the card.
Simply touching a metal part on your PC can
greatly reduce the amount of static.
2. Do not insert or remove components when
power is applied. While the ca rd is a + 5 volt
only system, other voltages are generated on the
card. Applying them in the wrong sequence can
destroy a compon ent.
