Using the ESD Strap
Electronic boards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). In order to
prevent damage, always use an ESD strap when handling electronic boards
and components.
1 Unwrap the first two folds of the band and wrap the exposed adhesive side
firmly around your wrist.
2 Unroll the rest of the band and peel the liner from the copper foil at the
opposite end.
3 Attach the copper foil to a convenient and exposed electrical ground.
