5.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the NANO-LX

may result in permanent damage to the NANO-LX and severe injury to

the user.

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

including the NANO-LX. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore

critical that whenever the NANO-LX, or any other electrical component is 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 the board.

Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting

material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any

conducting materials that are connected to the ground.

Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the NANO-LX, place it on an

antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the NANO-LX.

Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB

by the edges.
