3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the
ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL2-EM-RFID-KIT01-R10. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.
It is therefore critical that whenever the AFL2-EM-RFID-KIT01-R10 or any other electrical
component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Touch any grounded conducting material before handling
the board. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the AFL2-EM-RFID-KIT01-R10,
place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging
the AFL2-EM-RFID-KIT01-R10.
3.2 Packing Lis t
NOTE:
If any of the components listed in the checklist below are missing, do not
proceed with the installation. Contact the IEI reseller or vendor the
AFL2-EM-RFID-KIT01-R10 was purchased from or contact an IEI sales
representative directly by sending an email to [e-mail].
