# STATIC ELECTRICITY DAMAGE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

The integrated circuits used in todays radios, and other electronic products are extremely susceptible to damage by static electricity. Delco Electronics requires all authorized AC-Delco Repair Stations to install static protected work stations.

We have heard that some Delco radios are being damaged from static electricity where some dealers sublet to repair shops that do not have static protected work stations. Static damage repairs are more difficult to perform because more than one integrated circuit has been damaged.

We therefore encourage dealers to sublet Delco radios and other electronic components to only those shops that have static protected work shops or provide protection from static damage in some manner.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
