Precautions against ESD Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from Palm is that you take this precaution before connecting your smartphone to your computer, placing the smartphone in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device. [. . . ]
