2.1 Anti-s tatic Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the
ESD precautions to preve nt damage to the product, and injur y to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WIFI-RT3593-DB. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that when ever the WIFI-RT3593-DB or any other electrical com ponent 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: Touch any grounded conducting material before handling
the board. 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 WIFI-RT3593-DB, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WIFI-RT3593-DB.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the WIFI-RT3593-DB is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the WIFI-RT3593-DB does
not fall out of the box.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.
