ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor
may damage circuit boards or other static-sensitive devices. This
type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device. To
prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
n
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing parts in
static-safe containers.
n
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until
they arrive at static-free work stations.
n
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them
from their container.
n
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
n
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-
sensitive component or assembly.
GROUNDING METHODS
Use one or more of the following grounding methods when
handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
n
Use a flexible wrist strap with a minimum of 1 megohm
±
10
percent resistance in the ground cord that is connected to a
grounded workstation or the printer chassis. To provide
a proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
n
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps on both feet at
standing workstations. Stand on conductive floors or
dissipating floor mats.
n
Use conductive field service tools.
n
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-
dissipating work mat.
If you do not have the proper grounding equipment, have an
Authorized Service Provider install the part.
NOTE:
For additional information on static electricity, or
