Preventing ESD 1Preventing ESDBefore installing or servicing this product, read the ESD information below:! CAUTION. Static discharge can damage anysemiconductor component in this instrument.When handling this instrument in any way that requires access to the on-board circuitry, adhere to the followingprecautions to avoid damaging the circuit components due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).1. Minimize handling of static-sensitive circuit boards and components.2. Transport and store static sensitive modules in their static protected containers or on a metal rail. Labelany package that contains static sensitive boards.3. Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap while handlingthese modules and circuit boards. Do installation and service of static-sensitive modules only at astatic-free work station.4. Nothing capable of generating or holding a static charge should be allowed on the work station surface.5. Handle circuit boards by the edges when possible.6. Do not slide the circuit boards over any surface.7. Avoid handling circuit boards in areas that have a floor or work-surface covering capable of generatinga static charge.
