Step 3: Electronics protection #

Here are some tips to prevent damage to the electronics:

• Keep the electronics inside the ESD bag right until you are asked to install them.
• Always touch the sides of the board while manipulating with it. Avoid touching the chips, capacitors, and other parts of the electronics.
• Before you touch the electronics, use any conductive (steel) structure nearby to neutralize any electro-static energy.
• Be extra cautious in rooms with carpets, which are a source of electrostatic energy.
• Clothes made of wool and certain synthetic fabrics can easily gather static electricity. It is safer to wear cotton clothing.
