Figure 3-1. Wrist grounding strap
To minimize entanglement, right-handed people can wear the strap on the left hand. Plug the
other end of the wrist strap into the grounding jack provided on most Lucent products, as
shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2. Plugging the wrist strap into a grounding jack
If a grounding jack is not available, use an alligator clip to connect the strap to electrical
ground.
Use the following two simple tests to verify that the wrist strap is functioning properly:
•
Measure the resistance between the wrist strap and its grounding plug. Overall resistance
between these two points must be approximately 1 megohm. If the measurement is much
more or less, replace the strap.
•
Physically examine the strap for visible damage. If you see any damage, replace the strap.
