Static electricity precautions

Critical components in your instrument can be permanently damaged by static electricity. To help prevent such damage, follow these recommendations:

 

Before you disconnect power supply, always discharge any static electricity that you may have accumulated by touching the metal base of your instrument.

Do not touch any printed circuit board in the instrument, such as the circuit board on the detector.

Do not remove replacement components from their protective packaging until you are ready to install that component in the instrument.
