Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is thereforecritical that whenever the IMBA-G410 or any other electrical component is handled, thefollowing 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 IMBA-G410, place it on anantic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging theIMBA-G410. Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCBby the edges.4.2 In s ta lla tio n Co n s id e ra tio n sNOTE:The following installation notices and installation considerations shouldbe read and understood before installation.
