C.1.2 ANTI-STATIC PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the FPC6065/FPC6084
may result in permanent damage to the FPC6065/FPC6084 and severe injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including
the FPC6065/FPC6084. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that
whenever the FPC6065/FPC6084 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.
