Ground lift Operation  
Due to the variety of power sources available to the DJ, Stanton has included a  
ground lift switch to be used on the ST- 150/STR8-150 turntables. This will allow  
the DJ to have the capability of changing the grounding scheme of the phono  
cartridge to avoid ground hum that may occur when using the turntable. The ST-  
150/STR8-150 Turntable has been designed to operate with third pin safety ground,  
and should always be used when available. NEVER REMOVE THIRD PIN  
GROUND FROM THE POWER CORD PROVIDED, IF NECESSARY,  
USE THE APPROPRIATE ADAPTER FOR PLUGGING INTO OUTLETS  
WHICH DO NOT PROVIDE THIRD PIN GROUND TERMINALS.  
For best operation of the ground lift, the following rules should be applied  
When third pin safety ground is used, set the ground lift switch to the lift  
position. This position will isolate the cartridge ground from connection to earth  
ground.  
When third pin safety ground is unavailable, set the ground lift switch to the  
connected position. This will place the cartridge ground in connection with the  
chassis ground, but since third pin grounding is not used, the cartridge ground will  
not be in connection with earth.
