REGULATORY AND SAFETY INFORMATION
358
after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up
electrons on your body, you may get a shock—the discharge event—
when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the
built-up static electricity.
ESD-susceptible equipment
Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working
with electronic devices, take measures to help protect your electronic
devices, including your Palm
TM
handheld, from ESD harm. While Palm
has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately
exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm
your equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry
point for plugging in anything from cables to docking stations is
susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as
your handheld, build up ESD in a unique way because the static
electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed
to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another device
such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur.
Precautions against ESD
Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself
and your electronic devices before touching an electronic device or
connecting one device to another. The recommendation from Palm is
that you take this precaution before connecting your handheld to your
computer, placing the handheld in a cradle, or connecting it to any
other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following:
• Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device by
simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth ground.
• For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged
into a standard three-prong grounded outlet, touching the case
should discharge the ESD on your body.
• Increase the relative humidity of your environment.
• Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats.
Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences
Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the
environment include the following:
• Low relative humidity.
• Material type (The type of material gathering the charge. For
example, synthetics are more prone to static buildup than natural
fibers like cotton.)
• The rapidity with which you touch, connect or disconnect
electronic devices.
While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge
static electricity, if you are in an environment where you notice ESD
events you may want to take extra precautions to protect your
electronic equipment against ESD.
