2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the uIBX-230-BT and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the uIBX-230-BT. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the uIBX-230-BT 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: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. 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 uIBX-230-BT, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
uIBX-230-BT.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the uIBX-230-BT is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 2.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the uIBX-230-BT does not
fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section 2.3 are present.

by trained and qualified personnel. Maintenance, upgrades, or repairs may
only be carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with the associated
dangers.
Grounding: The uIBX-230-BT should be properly grounded. The voltage
feeds must not be overloaded. Adjust the cabling and provide external
overcharge protection per the electrical values indicated on the label attached
to the back of the uIBX-230-BT.
3.2 Installation and Configuration Steps
The following installation steps must be followed.
Step 1: Unpack the uIBX-230-BT.
