3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
KINO-9453 may result in permanent damage to the KINO-9453 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the KINO-9453. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the KINO-9453, or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple ant i-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 KINO-9453, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
KINO-9453.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
