Electrostatic Discharge
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor
may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This
type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
■Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in
static-safe containers.
■Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they
arrive at static-free workstations.
■Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from
their containers.
■Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
■Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
