1. Handling Recommendations
To enable development, the ToolStick Base Adapter and daughter cards are distributed without any protective
plastics. To prevent damage to the devices and/or the host PC, consider the following recommendations when
using the ToolStick:
Never connect or disconnect a daughter card to or from the ToolStick Base Adapter while the Base Adapter
is connected to a PC.
Always connect and disconnect the ToolStick Base Adapter from the PC by holding the edges of the
boards.
Avoid directly touching any of the other components.
Manipulate mechanical devices on the daughter cards, such as potentiometers, with care to prevent the
Base Adapter or daughter card from accidentally dislodging from their sockets.
