2.2 ESD Precaution

Please note that the LCD Board comes without any case/box and all

components are exposed for finger touches – and therefore extra attention must

be paid to ESD (electrostatic discharge) precaution.
Make it a habit always to first touch the metal surface of one of the USB
connectors on the OEM Base Board (which the LCD Board is mounted on)

for a few seconds with both hands before touching any other parts of the

boards. That way, you will have the same potential as the board and therefore

minimize the risk for ESD.

Note that Embedded Artists does not replace boards that have been damaged by ESD.

2.3 General Handling Care and Usage

Handle the LCD Board with care. The board is not mounted in a protective case/box and is not
designed for rough physical handling. Connectors can ware out after excessive use.

The board is

designed for evaluation and prototyping use, and not for integration into consumer or industrial

end-products.

Do not exercise pressure on the display glass area or the flex cable connecting the display to the pcb.
That will damage the display.

Note that Embedded Artists does not replace boards where the LCD has been improperly

handled.
