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.
UseaSafeWorkArea. 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 hand lin g sensitive co mp onents in areas
that have a floor or benchtop surface capable of generating a static
charge.
Handle Components Safely. Do no t slide sensitive co mp onen ts over
any surface. Do not touch exposed connector pins. Handle sensitive
