"Floating Ground" - What do they mean?

Possibly it means that the 'ground' terminals are actually connected to the
AC neutral wire (not to a third-wire ground). That connection is
permitted only with limiting resistance so that shock hazard is nil,
but 'test equipment' can easily see high-voltage transients.
That would make sense only if this is a two-wire AC powered gizmo.
It would make MORE sense if the device were an old TV set.

FFS - it was not posted to you.
If you haven't got a clue - shut the **** up.
