• Wear a wrist grounding strap or touch an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as the
back panel, before touching anything inside your FMU.
• While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the FMU chassis to dissipate
any static electricity that might harm internal components.
In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable
itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. To disconnect this type cable, press in
the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly
aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both
connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
• Handle components and Prokee
®
s with care. Don’t touch the contacts on a Prokee
®
• Hold components by their edges or by their metal mounting bracket.
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge: static electricity can harm delicate
components inside your FuelMaster
®
FMU. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity
from your body before you touch any of your FuelMaster
®
FMU’s electronic components. You can
do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the FuelMaster
®
FMU chassis.
As you continue to work inside your FuelMaster
®
FMU, periodically touch an unpainted metal
surface to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated. Use of a wrist-grounding
strap is highly recommended.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
• Keep a static-sensitive component in its antistatic packing material until you are ready to install
the component in your FuelMaster® FMU. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging,
discharge electricity from your body.
• Transport sensitive components in antistatic containers or packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and
workbench pads.
Protecting Against Radio Interference: this equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a commercial
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning off and on the equipment, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the radio/TV’s receiving antenna;
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the radio/TV’s receiver;
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the radio/TV’s
receiver is connected; and,
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
