HDC-701EL Video/Audio Capture Card

2.1 Unpacking

2.1.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
HDC-701EL may result in permanent damage to the capture card and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the video/audio capture card. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It
is therefore critical that whenever the video/audio capture card, or any other electrical
component is 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 the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the video/audio capture card, place
it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
video/audio capture card.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

2.1.2 Unpacking Precautions

When the video/audio capture card is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 2.1.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the video/audio capture card
does not fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components listed in Section 2.1.3 are present.
