6. Ensure that the DVR5100 DVR and all of its components are protected from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before
handling any electronic components, you should take steps to ground yourself properly so that any built-up static
electric charges are dissipated away from the unit. The most effective method for combating ESD is to use a properly
grounded wrist strap (refer to Figure 2). These wrist straps are designed to be plugged into specially-designed mats.
Figure 2. ESD Protection
A disposable ESD wrist strap (refer to Figure 3) is included with this kit. Attach the copper end of this wrist strap to
any unpainted surface of an appliance that is grounded. An appliance is considered grounded if it can direct ESD to
the earth, usually through its power cable. An appliance that is plugged into an electrical outlet is considered
grounded. The DVR5100 is not considered grounded when it is unplugged. As an alternative, you can discharge built-
up static by periodically touching an unpainted section of an appliance.
