Preventing Electrostatic Damage
CAUTION. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components in
the oscilloscope and its accessories. To prevent ESD, observe these
precautions when directed to do so.
Use a Ground Strap. Wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap to
discharge the static voltage from your body while installing or
removing sensitive components.
Use a Safe Work Area. Do not use any devices capable of generating or
holding a static charge in the work area where you install or remove
sensitive components. Avoid handling sensitive components in areas
that have a floor or benchtop surface capable of generating a static
charge.
Handle Components Carefully. Do not slide sensitive components over
any surface. Do not touch exposed connector pins. Handle sensitive
components as little as possible.
Transport and Store Carefully. Transport and store sensitive components
in a static-protected bag or container.
