If the grounding-kit work surface has been exposed to temperatures above 66°C (150°F) or below 4.5°C (40°F), acclimate the work surface to room temperature before unrolling it. Place any removed component into an ESD-protective package. Keep the grounding-kit work surface clean. Use a mild detergent and water, as needed, and make sure that the surface is completely dry before you use it. Periodically check the resistance of the ground cord and the wrist-strap coil cord. The ground cord should measure less than 1.2M ohms , and the coil cord should measure between 0.8M ohms and 1.2M ohms. Repair or replace the cords as required. ESD-Protection Procedure Remember that each environment is different. Make sure that all concerns have been addressed before working on equipment. Preparation 1. Before opening the equipment, unfold the work surface completely and place it on any convenient surface, such as a table or the floor next to the equipment to be serviced. 2.
