3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
If the following anti-static precautions are not followed, a user may be
injured and the system irreparably damaged.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL2-MF-RFID-KIT Series module. (Dry climates are especially susceptible
to ESD.) It is therefore critical that whenever the AFL2-MF-RFID-KIT Series is opened and
any electrical component 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 AFL2-MF-RFID-KIT Series,
place it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging
the AFL2-MF-RFID-KIT Series.
3.1.1 Unpacking
After the AFL2-MF-RFID-KIT Series is received make sure the following components are
included in the package. If any of these components are missing, please contact the
AFL2-MF-RFID-KIT Series reseller or vendor where it was purchased or contact an IEI
sales representative immediately.
