router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring

that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely

channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, you must

use the wrist strap and cord properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal

part of the chassis.

For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. It should be between 1 and 10
