symbol.

ESD Warning!

Despite protective measures, our components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Electrostatic

charge may accumulate unnoticed and may even cause damage without your being immediately aware

of it. Such damage can be avoided by carrying out all work at "safe" work stations and by utilizing

packaging with electrostatic shielding when transporting sensitive components.

Always follow ESD precautions!

Caution!

When handlingstatic sensitive devices, observe the following guidelines:

Always statically discharge yourself (e.g. by touching a grounded object) before handling static

sensitive devices.

Any equipment and tools used must also be free from static charge.

Unplug the power cord before removing or inserting static sensitive devices.

Handle static sensitive devices by their edges.

Never touch a connection pin or conducting track on static sensitive devices.

Always ensure that electrostatic charge does not form at contacts between device sockets and

their leads. Any charge which may develop here is to be lead off. Damage resulting from ESD is

not covered in the guarantee.
