3.4 Grounding

Proper grounding is necessary for reliable equipment operation and provides some
protection to the equipment from damaging electrical disturbances. The displays are
supplied with a power cord that contains an earth ground conductor. Make sure to
plug this cord into a grounded outlet. The display must be properly grounded or
the warranty will be void
.

Note: Displays must be earth grounded according to local electrical code.

The Galaxy displays are supplied with an eight (8) foot power cord.

The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible.
Plug the power cord into the back of the display as shown in
