CAUTION
Static discharge can damage any semiconductor
component in this instrument.
This instrument contains electrical components that are susceptible to damage from static discharge. Static voltages of 1KV to 30KV are common in unprotected environments.
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage :
1.Minimize handling of
2.Transport and store
3.Discharge the static voltages from your body by wearing a wrist strap while han- dling these components. Servicing
4.Nothing capable of generating or holding a static charge should be allowed on the work station surface.
5.Keep the component leads shorted together whenever possible.
6.Pick up components by the body, never by the leads.
7.Do not slide the components over any surface.
8.Avoid handling components in areas that have a floor or
9.Use a soldering iron that is connected to earth ground.
10.Use only special
