Safety Considerations
Before performing service procedures, review the following safety information.
Electrostatic Discharge
A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry.
Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary to prevent damage. To prevent
electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
•
Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
•
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free
stations.
•
Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Use a wrist strap connected
to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
•
Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly
aids and foam packing.
•
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
•
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
•
Use conductive field service tools.
