Standard Electrostatic Precautions

This instrument contains static-sensitive components that are subject to damage from electrostatic discharge. Use standard ESD precautions when transporting, handling, or using the instrument and the target, when connecting/disconnecting the instrument and the target, and when removing the cover of the instrument.

We recommend that you use the following precautions:

• Use wrist straps or heel bands with a 1 MW resistor connected to ground.
• On the work surface and floor, use static conductive mats with a 1 MW resistor connected to ground.
• Keep high static-producing items, such as non-ESD-approved plastics, tape and packaging foam, away from the instrument and the target.

The above precautions should be considered as minimum requirements for a static-controlled environment.
