Basic Maintenance : Handling Precautions 2-3
• Use a static-safeguarded workstation, through the use of a wrist strap, two ground cords, a
static-control table mat and a static-control floor mat.
NOTE: Be sure that the table and floor mats are properly grounded.
When these items are not readily available, observing the following techniques will minimize the
chance of damage:
• If a static-sensitive device is to be temporarily set down, use a conductive surface for
placement of the device.
• Make skin contact with a conductive work surface first and maintain this contact when the
device is set down or picked up.
• Always wear a conductive wrist strap when servicing this equipment. The Motorola part number
for a replacement wrist strap that connects to the table mat is 4280385A59.
