The Argon contains highly sensitive electronic circuitry and is an Electrostatic Sensitive
Device (ESD). Handling Argon without proper ESD protection may destroy or damage it
permanently. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied
throughout the processing, handling and operation of any application that incorporates
Argon. ESD precautions should be implemented on the application board where the
Argon is mounted. Failure to observe these precautions can result in severe damage to
the Argon!
There are four connectors on the Argon that will get damaged with improper usage. The
JST connector on the circuit board, where you plug in the LiPo battery, is very durable but
the connector on the battery itself is not. When unplugging the battery, take extra
precaution to NOT pull the connector using the wires, but instead hold the plug at its base
to avoid putting stress on the wires. This can be tricky with bare hands - nose pliers are
your friend here.
