Component Handling
To help prevent component damage, make sure your hands are clean,
and only handle the P.C. board by its edges.
When handling electronic components, wear an antistatic strap. Failure
to do so could cause component damage.
For shipping and storage, place the removed P.C. board in an antistatic
protective bag. Equipment damage can occur.
P.C. Board
When servicing the P.C. board, follow good handling practices. Mishandling a
P.C. board can cause the following:
• P.C. board damage
• Shortened P.C. board life
• Unit malfunctions
Observe the following P.C. board handling rules:
• Make sure your hands are clean and free of moisture, oily liquids, etc.
• Only handle the P.C. board by its outer edges.
• Do not touch the P.C. board components. Finger contact with the board
surface and/or with its components can leave a deposit that will result in
board (and component) deterioration.
• When working with electronics, wear an appropriate antistatic strap, and
make sure it is properly grounded.
• Service the removed P.C. board at a static-free workstation that is properly
grounded.
• For shipping and storage, place the removed P.C. board in an antistatic
protective bag.
