   1. Does your power outlet have three holes and your power cord three   
   wires and prongs?   
      
   2. Make sure the round prong on the cord is connected to the ground on   
   the unit.  This requires a simple continuity tester or an ohm meter   
   connected between the round prong and the chassis of the unit.  The unit   
   needs to be unplugged when you conduct this test.   
      
   3. Is the round hole on the power outlet connected to earth ground?   
   This can be tested in a similar fashion, but will require you know where   
   to find a good earth ground.   
      
   4. If both of these tests are good, then your unit is well grounded and   
   this is not the problem.   
      
   5. If you are using a two wire cord or a two hole outlet, you likely   
   have a ground loop and this is causing your problem.  You MUST have good   
   grounding.
