6.Ensure that the DX4000 DVR and all of its components are protected from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before handling any electronic components, you should take steps to ground yourself properly 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 (refer to Figure 2). These wrist straps are designed to be plugged into specially-designed mats.
