Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, 

discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, 

such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface 

on the chassis.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

1. When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the 

component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the 

component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to 

discharge static electricity from your body.

2. When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or 

packaging.

3. Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads 

and workbench pads and an antistatic grounding strap.

Battery Handling Reminder

CAUTION:

There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. 

Replace only with the same or equivalent type of battery recommended 

by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the 

manufacturer's instructions.
