| you. |
|
|
|
|
Ÿ | Handle | the device | carefully, holding | it by its edges or its frame. | |
Ÿ | Do not | touch solder | joints, pins, or | exposed | printed circuitry. |
ŸDo not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.

part of the system unit | for | at | least two | seconds. (This drains static electr |
from the package and from | your | body.) |
| |
ŸRemove the device from its package and install it directly into your system u without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place
