5.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the iVW-FH122 may result in

permanent damage to the iVW-FH122 and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the iVW-FH122. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore

critical that whenever the iVW-FH122, or any other electrical component is handled, the

following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.

� Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can

help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.

� Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the iVW-FH122, place it on an

antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the

iVW-FH122.

5.2 Maintenance Overview

Note:

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Make sure to carefully follow all the instructions

in this section to diagnose any problems. If the problem persists, email

[email protected] for help from a sales representative

To preserve the working integrity, the iVW-FH122 must be properly maintained. If

components need replacement, the proper maintenance procedures must be followed to

ensure normal operation.
