CAUTION.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components in the
oscilloscope and its accessories. To prevent, ESD, observe these precautions
when directed to do so.
Use a Ground Strap. Wear a grounded, antistatic wrist strap to discharge the static
voltage from your body while installing or removing sensitive components.
Use a Safe Work Area. Do not use any devices capable of generating or holding a
static charge in the work area where you install or remove sensitive components.
Avoid handling sensitive components in areas that have a floor or benchtop
surface capable of generating a static charge.
Handle Components Safely. Do not slide sensitive components over any surface.
Do not touch exposed connector pins. Handle sensitive components as little as
possible.
Transport and Store Carefully. Transport and store sensitive components in a
static-protected bag or container.
