It might be solved either by blowing it away with an air blower ball (compressed air) or by brushing it off with an anti-static brush.  +Most of the modules do not require any additional maintenance.

Apart from a considerable difference in their costs, they also differ greatly in a quality and convenience of their use. 
  
 The first type is more common mostly due to its low price. However, thanks to using a sheet metal washer under screws, it is not possible to fasten a naked wire of small diameter well into this type of screw terminal. Furthermore, the sheet metal washers often fall out or block the pulling out of the wire.   The first type is more common mostly due to its low price.

-High-frequency signals are led to external devices in the same way as they are between modules - via coaxial cable with SMA connectors or they are connected via a short pigtail to some other panel [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_connector|RF connector]]. Preferred are following connectors’ types (in a given order): F, BNC, N and PL.+High-frequency signals are led to external devices in the same way as they are between modules - via coaxial cables with SMA connectors or they are connected via a short pigtail to some other panel [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_connector|RF connector]]. Preferred are the following connectors’ types (in a given order): F, BNC, N and PL. 
 In order to connect distant devices, such as receiving antenna, F-connector is a good choice, mainly thanks to its easy assembly and disassembly, allowing for an easy placement of coaxial cabels.  In order to connect distant devices, such as receiving antenna, F-connector is a good choice, mainly thanks to its easy assembly and disassembly, allowing for an easy placement of coaxial cabels.

-The most widely used external bus used with modules is a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus|USB]] with USB-B connector. A reason for using USB B is that it is the most robust USB connector, it has outlets through the board and thus it does not brake away from PCB (like other variants of USBmicro connectors). +The most widely found external bus used with modules is a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus|USB]] with USB-B connector.

-Using an USB connector on a module requires placing a current fuse into the charing from USB (usually 750mA PTC). Otherwise a short circuit can cause a fall of HOST system and thus a data loss (of a tuned program).  +Using USB connector on a module requires placing a current fuse into the charing from USB (usually 750mA PTC).

-The following way of assembly, when we use úhelníky (??), for example form Merkur building kit, in order to attach the corner screws, has an advantage in that you can access both sides of the board without any problems and carry out measurements also on a PCB. It is thus suitable for revive new modules.+The following way of assembly, when we use úhelníky (??), for example form Merkur building kit, in order to attach the corner screws, has an advantage in that you can access both sides of the board without any problems and carry out measurements also on a PCB.

-The threaded rods used in the example are of M5 type and each board is fastened by a nut from above and below. There are washer between the board and the nuts. There is a spring washer used with one of the nuts. Cutting length (?? Řezná délka) in case of two boards above each other is 12 cm. This length was chosen because 1m threaded rod can be divided into 8 columns and there are 4cm left for cutout  (?? Prořez) and tolerance. +The threaded rods used in the example are of M5 type and each board is fastened by a nut from above and below. There are washers between the board and the nuts.
