Specifications

7. Handle PCBs only by their edges.
Do not handle by the edge connectors.
8. Lift & handle solid state devices by
their bodies—never by their leads.
9. Transport and store PCBs and other
static sensitive devices in
static-shielded containers.
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
Keep work spaces clean and free of any objects capable of holding or storing a static charge.
Connect soldering tools to an earth ground.
Use only special anti-static suction or wick-type desoldering tools.
CAUTION
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the highly sensitive circuits
in the MS462XX VNMS. ESD is most likely to occur as test devices are
being connected to, or disconnected from, the instrument’s front and
rear panel ports and connectors. You can protect the instrument and
test devices by wearing a static-discharge wristband. Alternatively,
you can ground yourself to discharge any static charge by touching the
outer chassis of the grounded instrument before touching the
intrument’s front and rear panel ports and connectors. Avoid touching
the test port center conductors unless you are properly grounded and
have eliminated the possibility of static discharge.
Repair of damage that is found to be caused by ESD is not covered
under warranty.
