Chapter 4:
Precautions
Please note that the 8051 USB Programmer Board come without any case/box and all
components are exposed for finger touches – and therefore extra attention must be paid to ESD
(electrostatic discharge) precaution.

Make it a habit always to first touch the metal surface of one of the USB or Ethernet
connectors for a few seconds with both hands before touching any other parts of the boards.

That way, you will have the same potential as the board and therefore minimize the risk
for ESD. Never touch directly on the 8051 USB Programmer Board. The push-buttons on the
8051USB Programmer Board have grounded shields to minimize the effect of ESD.
