Instructions:

1. Handling:

   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical shock or static discharge.
   • Use appropriate ESD protection when handling the component.

2. Soldering:

   • Preheat the PCB to 120°C to 150°C.
   • Soldering temperature should not exceed 260°C.
   • Soldering time should be limited to 10 seconds per pad.

3. Mounting:

   • Ensure the correct orientation of the oscillator on the PCB.
   • Apply a small amount of solder paste to the pads before placement.
   • Use a reflow soldering process for best results.

4. Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
   • Use within 12 months of receipt for optimal performance.

5. Testing:

   • Test the oscillator using a frequency counter or oscilloscope.
   • Ensure the supply voltage is within the specified range (1.8V to 5.5V).

6. Troubleshooting:

   • If the oscillator does not start, check for proper power supply and correct connections.
   • Verify that the load capacitance matches the specified value (6 pF).
