Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It istherefore critical that whenever the SBOX-100-QM87i is opened and any of the electricalcomponents are 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 any electrical component. Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch anygrounded conducting material.
