Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational purposes unless it
is otherwise protected.
Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where a safe work station is
not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically discharged before touching the product with his/
her hands or tools. This is most easily done by touching a metal part of your system housing.
It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing piggybacks, ROM
devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory back-up, ensure that the sys-
tem is not placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-static plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits
and damage the batteries or conductive circuits on the system.

environmental requirements. This applies also to the operational temperature range of the specific system ver-
sion, which must not be exceeded. If batteries are present their temperature restrictions must be taken into
account.
In performing all necessary installation and application operations, please follow only the instructions supplied by the
present manual.
Keep all the original packaging material for future storage or warranty shipments. If it is necessary to store or ship the sys-
tem, please re-pack it as nearly as possible in the manner in which it was delivered.
