CAUTION
Static discharge can damage any semiconductor
component in this instrument.
This instrument contains electrical components that are susceptible to damage
from static discharge. Static voltages of 1KV to 30KV are common in unprotected
environments.
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage :
1. Minimize handling of static-sensitive components.
2. Transport and store static-sensitive components or assemblies in their original
containers, on a metal rail, or on conductive foam. Label any packages that
contains static-sensitive assemblies or components.
3. Discharge the static voltages from your body by wearing a wrist strap while han-
dling these components. Servicing static-sensitive assemblies or components should
be performed only at a static-free workstation by qualified service personnel.
4. Nothing capable of generating or holding a static charge should be allowed on the
work station surface.
5. Keep the component leads shorted together whenever possible.
6. Pick up components by the body, never by the leads.
7. Do not slide the components over any surface.
8. Avoid handling components in areas that have a floor or work-surface covering
capable of generating a static charge.
9. Use a soldering iron that is connected to earth ground.
10. Use only special anti-static suction-type or wick-type desoldering tools.
