Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap, and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Connect the equipment end of the strap to the ESD connector on the switch.
Place a removed Flash PC card on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If the card will
be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
Avoid contact between the card and clothing. The wrist strap only protects the card from ESD
voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
