Direction 5444964-100 English Rev. 5
DO NOT touch any boards with integrated circuits prior to
taking the necessary ESD precautions.
Always connect yourself, via an arm-wrist strap, to the advised
ESD connection point located on the rear of the Ultrasound
system (near the power connector).
Follow general guidelines for handling of electrostatic sensitive
equipment.
Risk of electrical shock, Ultrasound system must be turned off.
Avoid all contact with electrical contacts, conductors and
components. Always use non-conductive handles designed for
the removal and replacement of ESD sensitive parts. All parts
that have the potential for storing energy must be discharged or
isolated before making contact.
If the covers are removed from an operating Ultrasound
System, some metal surfaces may be warm enough to pose a
potential heat hazard if touched, even while in shutdown mode.
