Electrical channel input circuits and the trigger input circuit can be damaged 
by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Therefore, avoid applying static discharges 
to the front-panel input connectors. Prior to connecting any coaxial cable to 
the connectors, momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the 
cable together. Avoid touching the front-panel input connectors without first 
touching the frame of the instrument. Be sure that the instrument is properly 
earth-grounded to prevent buildup of static charge. Wear a wrist-strap or heel-
strap.
