Caution!
Printed circuit assemblies, as well as other assemblies
in the Octel 200/300, contain static-sensitive
components. The human body can easily store
enough static electricity to damage a PCA. To avoid
discharging this energy to electronic assemblies,
always wear an antistatic wrist strap when handling
assemblies.
