5.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the 3307800
may result in permanent damage to the 3307800 and severe injury to
the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the 3307800. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the 3307800, 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 3307800, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the 3307800.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
