2-2 Installation
Do not subject the detector to mechanical shock.
ESD can damage the highly sensitive microcircuits in this device;
charges as low as 100 V can destroy a detector.
(ESD)
ESD damage occurs most often as you connect or disconnect a
device. Use this detector at a static-safe workstation and wear a
grounding strap.

Practices
Before cleaning, inspecting, or making a connection to a
static-sensitive device or test port, ground yourself as far as
possible from the test port.
