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 tech-
niques
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.
