The manufacturer recommends taking the following steps to prevent ESD damage to
your instrument:
• Before touching any instrument electronic components (such as printed circuit cards
and the components on them) discharge static electricity from the body. To discharge
static electricity, touch an earth-grounded metal surface such as the chassis of an
instrument, or a metal conduit or pipe.
• To reduce static build-up, avoid excessive movement. Transport static-sensitive
components in anti-static containers or packaging.
• To discharge static electricity from the body and keep it discharged, wear a wrist
strap connected by a wire to earth ground.
• Handle all static-sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
anti-static floor pads and work bench pads.
