General handling precautions and storage notices
• Take other appropriate measures (e.g. place a conductive mat on the floor of the work
area), so that the floor surface is grounded to earth and is protected against electrostatic
discharge.
• Cover the workbench surface with a conductive mat, grounded to earth, to disperse static
electricity on the surface through resistive components. Workbench surfaces must not be
constructed of low-resistance metallic material that allows rapid static discharge when a
charged device touches it directly.
• Ensure that work chairs are protected with an anti-static textile cover and are grounded to
the floor surface with a grounding chain.
• Install anti-static mats on storage shelf surfaces.
• For transport and temporary storage of devices, use containers that are made of anti-
static materials or materials that dissipate static electricity.
• Workers must wear anti-static clothing and conductive shoes (or a leg or heel strap).
• Workers must wear a wrist strap grounded to earth through a resistor of about 1 MΩ.
• If the tweezers used are likely to touch the device terminals, use an anti-static type and
avoid metal tweezers. If a charged device touches such a low-resistance tool, a rapid
discharge can occur. When using vacuum tweezers, attach a conductive chucking pad at
the tip and connect it to a dedicated ground used expressly for anti-static purposes.

Electrical damage
In order to prevent electrical damage to the device, ensure that electrical measurement
equipment is turned off before it makes contact with the device.
