It's a fair question: why would you plug something you touch into a wall outlet? Here's how it works.
Only the ground port
A grounded outlet has openings that carry power, and one that doesn't: the ground port. A grounding cord connects only to that port, which is wired to the earth. No power runs through the product.
Simple safety checks
- Test your outlet with an outlet tester before you connect.
- Disconnect during thunderstorms.
- Don't use the product while it's wet.
- If you're unsure about your wiring, ask a licensed electrician.
- If you have a medical condition or an implanted medical device, ask your doctor first.
