5. Ensure that the DX8000 Series DVR and all of its components are protected against electro static discharge (ESD).
Before handling any electronic components, you should take steps to properly ground yourself so that any built-up
static electric charges are dissipated away from the unit. The most effective method for combating ESD is to use a
properly grounded wrist strap.

NOTE: If you do not have access to a grounded wrist strap, you can discharge built-up static by
periodically touching an unpainted section of the chassis.
