EVISION
• Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or
packaging.
• Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
• Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their container.
• When handling or touching a sensitive component or assembly, ground yourself by touching
the chassis.
• Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or
conductive foam.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
This section defines a workzone that is not connected to the system under service. The mobile
system is a battery powered unit that can deliver lethal current. Ensure you are not providing an
earth ground path when practicing ESD procedures.
Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to equipment:
• Wrist straps are flexible straps with a maximum of one-megohm +/- 10% resistance in the
ground cords. To provide a proper ground, wear the strap against bare skin. The ground cord
must connect snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or workstation.
• Heel, toe, and boot straps can be used at standing workstations and are compatible with most
types of shoes or boots. On conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use them on both feet
with a maximum of one-megohm +/- 10% resistance between the operator and ground.
