A discharge of static electricity can damage micro-circuitry
or static-sensitive devices. To help prevent electrostatic
damage, observe the following precautions:
• Transport and store items in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers
until they arrive at static-free stations.
• Use a wrist strap and properly-grounded tools.
• Make sure you are always properly grounded when
touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
• Keep the work area free of non-conductive materials.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
