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
assistance with the installation of this product, contact your
Authorized Service Provider.
