Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide

161

Take extra precautions, such as a grounded antistatic mat, if 
you must work on components or assemblies that have been 
removed from the MSD. This includes the analyzer.

More information is available

If you need more information about the functions of electronic 
components, refer t

Chapter 14

“Electronics” 

on page 215.

Most of the procedures in this chapter are illustrated with video 
clips.

C A U T I O N

In order to be effective, an antistatic wrist strap must fit snugly (not 
tight). A loose strap provides little or no protection.

C A U T I O N

Antistatic precautions are not 100% effective. Handle electronic 
circuit boards as little as possible and then only by the edges. Never 
touch the components, exposed traces, or pins on connectors and 
cables.
