EMC incorporates state-of-the-art technology in its designs, including the use of LSI
and VLSI components. These chips are very susceptible to damage caused by static
discharge and need to be handled accordingly.

Before handling printed circuit boards or other parts containing LSI and/or VLSI
components, observe the following precautions:
Store all printed circuit boards in antistatic bags.
◆
Use a ground strap whenever you handle a printed circuit board.

Unless specifically designed for nondisruptive replacement, never plug or

unplug printed circuit boards with the power on. Severe component damage
may result.
