STEP 1. Unpack and Inspect the Network Analyzer Modules
STEP 1. Unpack and Inspect the Network Analyzer Modules
The network analyzer modules are shipped in materials which prevent damage from static.
CAUTION
The modules should only be removed from the packaging in an anti-static area ensuring
that correct anti-static precautions are taken. Store all modules in anti-static envelopes
when not in use.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components.
Use a static-safe work station to perform all work on electronic assemblies.

conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination, and conductive floor-mat
and heel-strap combination. Both types, when used together, provide a
significant level of ESD protection. Of the two, only the table-mat and
wrist-strap combination provides adequate ESD protection when used alone.
To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must provide at least 1
meg-ohm of isolation from ground.
Do NOT use these techniques for a static-safe work station when working on circuitry with
WARNING
a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
