You should take the following basic precautions in order to reduce the
chances of an ESD event:
• Electrostatic potential can be safely reduced by touching any person or
object with your fingers prior to contact with a headpiece, cables or sound
processor. Hand contact will safely equalize electric charge and prevent
sparks from jumping to the processor system. When approached by
someone (for example on carpet), touch him or her first with your hand
prior to them touching your external components. Parents are advised to
touch their child before they touch a headpiece or sound processor that
their child is wearing. Also, before placing any part of a processor system
on a table or other surface, you should first touch the surface.
• Avoid contact between your processor/cables/headpiece and metal
surfaces before you touch the metal surface with your hand. Children
should remove their headpiece and processor before engaging in
activities that commonly create static electricity, such as playing on
plastic play equipment.
