2.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the DRPC-120-BTi and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the DRPC-120-BTi. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the DRPC-120-BTi 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 DRPC-120-BTi, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
DRPC-120-BTi.

2.2 Unpacking Precautions

When the DRPC-120-BTi is unpacked, please do the following:

Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 2.1.

Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the DRPC-120-BTi does not
fall out of the box.

Make sure all the components shown in Section 2.3 are present.
