Safety Considerations
ATTENTION
Static Sensitive
Devices
This instrument was constructed
in
a n E S D (electrostatic dis-
charge) protected environment. This
is
because most
of
the semi-
conductor devices used
in this
instrument are susceptible to damage
by static discharge.
Depending on the magnitude
of
the charge, device substrates can
be punctured or destroyed by contact or mere proximity of a
static charge. T h e results can cause degradation of device perform-
ance, early failure, or immediate destruction.
These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple
contact, separation or materials, and normal motions of persons
working with static sensitive devices.
W h e n handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive
devices, adequate precautions
must
be taken
to
prevent device
damage or destruction.
Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted
techniques for handling static sensitive devices should attempt to
service circuitry with these devices.
I n all instances, measures must be taken to prevent static charge
build-up on work surfaces and persons handling the devices.
For further information o n E S D precautions, refer to "SPECIAL
HANDLING CONSIDERATIONS FOR STATIC S E N S I T I V E
DEVICES" in Section 8, Service.
