B.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the EP series
may result in permanent damage to the EP series and severe injury to
the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the EP series. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the EP series is opened and any of the electrical components are
handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
„ Wear an anti-static wristband : Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
„ 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.
„ 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.
„ Only handle the edges of the electrical component : When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
B.2 Maintenance and Cleaning Precautions
When maintaining or cleaning the EP series, please follow the guidelines below.
B.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning
Prior to cleaning any part or component of the EP series, please read the details below.
„ Except for the LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any other
components. To clean the LCD panel, gently wipe it with a piece of soft dry
cloth or a slightly moistened cloth.
