Step 2
– Let’s get that mat grounded! Just snap the connection onto one of the corner buttons of the mat, and then connect it to a grounding source like a socket. You’re on the right track!
Step 3
– Make sure your device is unplugged and resting comfortably on the mat. Clip one end of the alligator clip to the metal chassis of your device, and the other end to your wrist or to the mat itself if grounding the mat to a socket isn’t an option. You’re all set to keep things safe while you work your magic!
