B.1.2 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the

uIBX-200-R21/VX800 may result in permanent damage to the

uIBX-200-R21/VX800 and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the uIBX-200-R21/VX800. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is

therefore critical that whenever the uIBX-200-R21/VX800 is opened and any of the

electrical components are handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly

adhered to.

ƒ

Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can

help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.

ƒ

Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any

grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is

handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the

ground.

ƒ

Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical

component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD

damage.

ƒ

Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the

electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
