Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies of different
electrostatic potentials, such as an operator and a piece of electrical equipment. It occurs when electronic
components are improperly handled, and it can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
Electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur with the combination of synthetic fibers and dry
atmosphere.
Always use the following ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components:
Step 1
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring that it makes good skin contact.
Caution
To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
Always observe the warnings in the preceding section, "Safety."
Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of interface ports that do not have a cable

attached.
This device is intended for use in residential and commercial environments only.
Note
Caution
Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10
megohms (Mohms).
