Reducing ESD Damage
The following suggestions may help reduce ESD damage that occurs during
testing and servicing operations.
Personnel should be grounded with a resistor-isolated wrist strap before
removing any assembly from the unit.
Be sure all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent a buildup of
static charge.
