Radio-frequency emissions notice

The following regulatory notice applies to AccessNode equipment:

Static electricity

It is usual for static electrical charges to build up on the body if a person walks
a short distance. This buildup of static electricity is sufficient to damage some
circuit packs if it is not properly discharged first. Circuit packs that are
sensitive to damage by static electricity should be packaged in antistatic
material. The following precautions are recommended.

Handling circuit packs

Units that are sensitive to static electricity are marked in their antistatic
shipping bags with the following symbol:
