Attaching an Antistatic Wrist Strap

Use a disposable or reusable antistatic wrist strap when servicing or upgrading the
workstation.
NOTE There is no increased risk of electrical shock when using an antistatic wrist strap. If the wrist
strap does not snugly contact bare skin, static protection will not be effective.
To attach a disposable antistatic wrist strap:
1. Remove the wrist strap from the envelope.
2. Unfold the wrist strap and wrap the exposed adhesive side firmly around your bare wrist.
3. Peel the liner from the wrist strap copper foil. Attach the adhesive side of the copper
foil to a bare flat metal surface (electrical ground) inside the base unit.
NOTE After using a disposable wrist strap once, you cannot use it again.
To attach a reusable antistatic wrist strap:
1. Attach the wrist strap to the ground loop shown in the following figure.
