In addition, follow these guidelines when handling modules:
Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or
•
connectors.
Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding container.
•
If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding
container.
Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
•
Caution
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).
