2.1 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 WIFI-RT3593-DB. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the WIFI-RT3593-DB 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 WIFI-RT3593-DB, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WIFI-RT3593-DB.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the WIFI-RT3593-DB is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the WIFI-RT3593-DB does
not fall out of the box.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.
