3. Do not remove the oscilloscope cabinet unless you have met precaution
number 2, above. Consider all internal modules static sensitive.
4. Remove anything capable of generating or holding a static charge from
the work station surface.
5. Do not slide the modules over any surface.
6. Do not use highĆvelocity compressed air when cleaning dust from
modules.
Table 6Ć1 lists the relative susceptibility of various classes of semiconducĆ
tors. Static voltages of 1 kV to 30 kV are common in unprotected environĆ
ments.
