How do I properly ground 3M™ computer filters for the anti-radiation and anti-static features?
3M™ Computer Filters with anti-radiation and/or anti-static features are supplied with a grounding cord clip. The ground cord must be connected to the nearest known electrical earth ground in order for these features to work effectively. The ground cord clip can be attached to a metal frame on the back of a central processing unit (CPU), any metal screw on the back of the unit that makes direct contact with the metal frame, or the metal fan vent on the back of the CPU. For extra safety, unplug the unit while making this connection. Other typical electrical ground locations are electrical conduit, water pipe, heater vents, and a metal building frame. A small area of paint might need to be scraped away in order to make better contact with the metal. CAUTION: To avoid electrical shock, do not connect the ground cord to electrical outlets. If you are not sure about grounding the computer filter, contact a licensed electrician.
