Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to the equipment:
Wrist-straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm +/- 10% resistance to the
ground cords. To provide proper ground, a strap must be worn snug against the skin. On
grounded mats without banana-plug connectors, connect a wrist strap with alligator clips.
Heelstraps/Toestraps/Bootstraps can be used at standing work areas and are compatible
with most types of boots and shoes. On conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use them
on both feet with a minimum of 1 megohm resistance between operator and ground. To be
effective, the conductive strips must be worn in contact with the skin.
