Recommended Materials And Equipment - Compaq Presario 5UV430 Maintenance And Service Manual

Wrist Straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm plus or minus 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 workstations 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.
