Safety Summary
Welch Allyn Micropaq Monitor
•
Perform all service procedures in a static-protected environment. Always use
techniques and equipment designed to protect personnel and equipment from
electrostatic discharge.
•
Remove static-sensitive components and assemblies from their static-shielding
bags only at static-safe workstations—a properly grounded table and grounded
floor mat—and only when you are wearing a grounded wrist strap (with a resistor
of at least 1 megohm in series) or other grounding device.
•
Use only grounded tools when inserting, adjusting, or removing static-sensitive
components and assemblies.
•
Remove or insert static-sensitive components and assemblies only with monitor
power turned off.
•
Insert and seal static-sensitive components and assemblies into their original
static-shielding bags before removing them from static-protected areas.
•
Always test your ground strap, bench mat, conductive work surface, and ground
cord before removing components and assemblies from their protective bags and
before beginning any disassembly or assembly procedures.
