A. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS / ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PRECAUTIONS
This graphic symbol showing a hand on a dark background (to IEC 747-1 standard) means that the
equipment on which it appears (assembly or subassembly) contains components sensitive to elec-
trostatic discharges.
The following rules shall be complied with when carrying out any type of servicing on equipment
bearing this symbol:
−
The equipment shall be placed on a conducting or antistatic-working surface grounded through a
resistance of between 250 kohm and 1 Mega-ohm.
−
The operator shall wear a cotton smock and shall be linked with the working surface by a con-
ducting wristband through a resistance of 1 Mega-ohm.
−
Soldering iron shall be grounded.
−
The transport and storage of parts removed from the equipment (printed board assemblies,
modules, hybrid circuits, etc.) shall be done with conductive or antistatic packaging.
B. SHORT - CIRCUIT PRECAUTIONS
The inputs/outputs (I/O) are protected from short circuits but, by precautions no servicing shall be
performed on any active or passive components while the equipment is energized.
