NOTE
Send old batteries to secondary lead smelter for recycling. Place
neutralized slurry into sealed containers and handle in accordance to
local, state, and federal regulations. Large water-diluted spills, after
neutralization and testing, should be managed in accordance with
approved local, state, and federal requirements. Consult state
environmental agency and/or federal EPA (Environmental Protection
Agency).
ESD Protection
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause immediate or latent damage
to electronic circuits. Vaisala products are adequately protected
against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage
the product by delivering electrostatic discharges when touching,
removing, or inserting any objects inside the equipment housing.
To make sure you are not delivering high static voltages yourself:
- Handle ESD sensitive components on a properly grounded and
protected ESD workbench. When this is not possible, ground
yourself with a wrist strap and a resistive connection cord to the
equipment chassis before touching the boards. When neither of the
above is possible, touch a conductive part of the equipment chassis
with your other hand before touching the boards.
- Always hold the boards by the edges and avoid touching the
component contacts.
