ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
The SDR-OMNI internal parts are ESD sensitive. An ESD may damage integrated circuits or semiconductors
located within the SDR-OMNI. Only qualified personnel should service the SDR-OMNI to prevent damage. While
performing tests or maintenance, users must adhere to the following guidelines to avoid ESD. These guidelines
are meant only as a reminder; users must consult local directives and follow standard operating procedures
before servicing or repairing the SDR-OMNI.
• Wear a properly grounded wrist strap and remain in contact with an approved grounding point.
• Do not touch the connector pins or backplanes of ESD Sensitive circuits or parts.
• Ensure soldering irons are grounded before use.
• Do not remove any components or disconnect any connectors located in the SDR-OMNI with the power “ON”.
• Properly ground all test equipment being used. Refer to the test equipment operating manual for information.
• Place all removed components or parts in or on an approved conductive package.
Most ESD devices or circuits and common points are readily identified using several different methods. See
Figure 1 for example ESD labels.

The European Conformity (CE) (International Electric Commission (IEC)) marking symbols may be used in
different locations throughout the manual and are also located on and in the SDR-OMNI. Observe these warnings
and markings and follow standard electrical safety anytime you use live circuits. See Figure 2 for example
markings.
