The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will 
fit only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire 
plug, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not 
defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.

the monitor from damage due to power surges.
