B.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
AFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL may result in permanent damage to the
AFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.
It is therefore critical that whenever the AFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL is opened and any of
the electrical components are handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly
adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can

help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any

grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical

component, place it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the

electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
