The following suggestions may help reduce ESD damage that occurs during testing and
servicing operations.
n Before connecting any coaxial cable to an spectrum analyzer connector for the first time each
day, momentarily ground the center and outer conductors of the cable.
w
Personnel should be grounded with a resistor-isolated wrist strap before touching the center
pin of any connector and before removing any assembly from the unit.
n Be sure that all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent a buildup of static
charge.
