A Safety Precautions
Page 86
ICEFIRE-T10A Mobile Clinic Assistant
WARNING:
The precautions outlined in this chapter should be strictly followed. Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to the ICEFIRE-T10A.
A.1 Safety Precautions
Please follow the safety precautions outlined in the sections that follow:
A.1.1 General Safety Precautions
Please ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to at all times.
Follow the electrostatic precautions outlined below whenever the
ICEFIRE-T10A is opened.
Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected
whenever the ICEFIRE-T10A is being installed, moved or modified.
Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range.
Doing so may cause fire and/or an electrical shock.
Electric shocks can occur if the ICEFIRE-T10A chassis is opened when the
ICEFIRE-T10A is running.
Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the
ICEFIRE-T10A.
If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the ICEFIRE-T10A,
turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the ICEFIRE-T10A vendor.
DO NOT:
o
Drop the ICEFIRE-T10A against a hard surface.
o
Strike or exert excessive force onto the LCD panel.
o
Touch any of the LCD panels with a sharp object
o
In a site where the ambient temperature exceeds the rated temperature
Page 87
A.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the ICEFIRE-T10A may result in permanent damage to the ICEFIRE-T10A and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the ICEFIRE-T10A. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the ICEFIRE-T10A 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
ICEFIRE-T10A Mobile Clinic Assistant
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.
