CAUTION. A direct electrostatic discharge can damage the instrument input. To
learn how to avoid this damage, read the following information.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern when handling any electronic
equipment. The instrument is designed with robust ESD protection; however it
is still possible that large discharges of static electricity directly into the signal
input may damage the instrument. To avoid damage to the instrument, use the
following techniques to prevent electrostatic discharge to the instrument.
