Warning
Caution
1-2
After removing the CPN5365 from its packaging:
Check for obvious physical damage
Verify that the coin cell battery is in its holder and inserted correctly
Make sure that you disconnect the chassis from the main power supply
before you continue.
Motorola strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a
conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic
components, such as disk drives, computer boards, and memory modules,
can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). After
removing the component from its protective wrapper or from the system,
place the component flat on a grounded, static-free surface (and, in the case
of a board, component side up). Do not slide the component over any
surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from
ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores)
that is attached to an active electrical ground. Note that a system chassis
may not be grounded if it is unplugged.
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this
equipment. Use extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting.
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry. Static discharge can damage
these circuits.
