ATTENTION
Static Sensitive
Devices
This instrument was constructed
in
an ESD (electro-static discharge)
protected environment. This
is
because most of the semi-conductor
devices used
in
this instrument are susceptible to damage
by
static
discharge.
Depending on the magnitude of
the
charge, device substrates can be
punctured
or
destroyed
by
contact
or
mere proximity of a static charge.
The results can cause degradation of device performance, early failure,
or
immediate destruction.
These charges are generated
in
numerous ways such
as
simple contact,
separation of materials, and normal motions of persons working with
static sensitive devices.
When handling
or
servicing equipment containing static sensitive
devices, adequate precautions
must
be taken to prevent device damage
or
destruction.
Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted
techniques for handling static sensitive devices should attempt to
service circuitry with these devices.
In
all instances, measures
must
be taken to prevent static charge
build-up on work surfaces and persons handling the devices.
