Safety Considerations
Before performing service procedures, review the following safety information.
Electrostatic Discharge
A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or micro-circuitry. Proper
packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To
prevent electrostatic damage:
Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free
stations.
Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Use a wrist strap connected
to the work surface and properly grounded (earthed) tools and equipment.
Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids
and foam packing.
Be sure that you are properly grounded (earthed) when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Use nonconductive field service tools.
