I don't understand the metal tabs, i think they're to ground, how do they work?

In a perfect world, you are suppose to put the tab under the screw that holds the cover plate to the wall. Do you have children in the house? If so, I'd move ASAP

You can ONLY use these in the top outlet of an older style NON-GROUNDING outlet. They will have two vertical slots only, not third grounding hole, which is why you need this adapter. It has to be plugged into the top outlet only, because the green tab on the underside of the adapter is to attach to the grounding screw on these older outlets. Remove the screw, but not the cover (leave it in place), insert the adapter into the top outlet, then reinsert and refasten the screw. You will then have a grounded outlet on top that accepts a 3-prong plug. ;) The idea being, that the box, which the outlet is in, is grounded and the plate screw in the centre is connected to the box. It's not the best ground, but it works in most cases. If you have the newer "decorator style" or rectangular outlets, or the 3-prong grounded outlet, then you won't need this adapter. Actually, if you use this adapter on a grounded outlet, it makes breaks the ground connection, so ONLY use it with older NON-GROUNDED outlets.

You are supposed to take out one of the screws on the outlet cover and then put the three plug in the socket and put the screw into the metal tab and then into the outlet cover. But an electrician told me that is useless if your house isn't grounded in the first place. So I never bother doing all that stuff and they've always worked.

I'm not exactly really technical but you put the ring in the groves of the plastic tabs, making sure that the dip in the wire and the dip in the plastic for the tire pressure release are aligned. Hope this helps.

I have a video online of how I set mine up. Check out "donkeysponcho" on youtube. Make sure your ground is touching bare metal with no paint on it. easy breezy.

I'm not positive, but these tabs certainly seem to be metal. The "click" when the plates are inserted sounds metallic.

It self grounds with the bottom of the mount . It goes through the hole in you're bed and is metal to metal.

My suspicion is a broken tab. They are weak and break easily if forced at all. Time for a piece of black duct tape.

When the Orange tabs are engaged the wheels are inclined upwards to move the machine. When they are depressed the wheels angle and the base sits on bolts with rubber head. It works well. The tabs are a little fragile so just be careful. Make sure and glue 2 pieces of 3/4 inch plywood to make 1 1/2 inch thick to attach the htc to.

I've been there too but success puts the smile back on your face. The instructions say to "connect the front and rear panels (both have metal wire inserts) to one side ...". I would point out that both front and back pieces (with metal) have what I describe as foot tabs on one end only and that these approx. 1/4 inch extending tabs on both ends have to be on the bottom (the edge opposite the handle). Starting with them reversed so that the tabs end up on the top is NOT correct. You can force things together but those tabs and everything else will be misaligned. Also, make sure your placement of the front and back pieces does not obstruct the two slots that have locking plastic pins for the top and bottom pieces. Finally, make sure that the top and bottom pieces are both placed so the edge lip faces down. The bottom lip does not point up toward the other pieces as would seem intuitive. The picture is correct but easy to overlook this detail.

the copper wire is a ground, hook it up to any metal pipe. the other is the antenna place it where you get the best reception.

It is 2 pronged, and yes they are polarized. The wider of the 2 prongs being the neutral as it should be. There is no 3rd prong for ground.

As far as I know, you just pull up on the outside tabs for any increments that you want off. You probably have everything in the down position. Some of them may stick a little bit, so I had to pry the ones up adjacent first. Good luck.

Yes. Connections made to bottom set of metal prongs. Top ones are plastic, for alignment only. This assumes the usual household installation of the wall socket where ground pin is at the bottom. In commercial installations, the wall socket is often inverted so the ground pin is at the top.

These units are very sensitive to ground they ground when both nuts are secure to the chanel shaped mounting hoop. sounds like the metal on the usb might be making it ground and it starts to play but unpluged it won't.

These are meant to work on resistive screens. The tabs you are asking about are capacitive screens and these stylus as far as I know won't work with them.

The chassis of the switch connects to a sheet metal ground. There is a spade lug on the center pin that you connect the ground lead to whatever device is being connected. The circuit is completed when the switch is relaxed (fully up) and breaks when closes.

I noticed that some folks suggested using PVC or at least a PVC adapting sleeve to complete the connection.THAT"S A NO-NO!All antennas, including satellite dishes, need to be grounded to drain off static electricity. The PVC insulates one part from the other, thereby breaking the ground path.You are running a ground wire, aren't you?

You mount these into two anchores that are cemented into the ground. They adjust with a scre and bolt system. you can also get reound metal covers that slide down around the base of the polls that hide the anchor mechanism.
