Backcover removal instructions for the AFOLUX AFL-xxA-N26 series are described below.4.2 Anti-static PrecautionsWARNING:Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of theAFL-xxA-N26 may result in permanent damage to the AFL-xxA-N26and severe injury to the user.Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,including the AFL-xxA-N26. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is thereforecritical that whenever the AFL-xxA-N26 is accessed internally, or any other electricalcomponent is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to. Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband canhelp to prevent ESD from damaging the board. Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conductingmaterial. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch anyconducting materials that are connected to the ground. Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the AFL-xxA-N26, place it on anantic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging theAFL-xxA-N26. Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCBby the edges.
