How to use this by the book would be:
- Make sure your work surface is grounded, to a natural earth ground.
- Make sure the object being worked on is electrically coupled to the work surface (disconnected from any power source, batteries removed, capacitors discharged (CRTs shorted))
- Put the wrist strap on your least dominate arm.
- Connect the ground strap to the work surface.

What is the bracelet pretaining to a computer?
I think you're referring to an 'anti-static wrist band'. When performing maintenance on a computer, it's essential to use an anti-static wrist band - to direct any static build-up to the earth. Computer components can fail if static from our bodies is allowed to build up to a high enough charge. The 'anti-static wrist band' - simply fastens around one wrist of the user/technician, and is connected to the mains electricity's earth circuit by a wire & plug. Excess static travels down the wire, and into the earth.
What are effective ways to reduce static electricity in everyday situations?

What do you use to protect a system against static electricity?
You can use an anti-static wrist strap or an anti-static mat to protect a system against static electricity. These devices help to safely discharge any built-up static charge on your body before you touch sensitive electronic components, preventing potential damage to the system.
What is the function of anti static mat?
An anti-static mat is usually made of a conductive plastic. Usually, on one corner there is a snap connector. From that snap connector there is a long, (usually GREEN) wire, as well as a coiled wire that goes to a wrist strap. The green wire goes to the round GROUND connector of an AC wall socket. The coiled wire that goes to a wrist strap goes just like that. Wrap the wrist strap around your wrist. The reason for this setup is, through the green wire to the ground connector, you put both the mat and your body at ground potential. It takes the static electricity from your body,via the wrist strap, and from the mat to ground. Be VERY CAREFULL!! YOU MUST KNOW WHERE THE GROUND IS ON AN AC OUTLET TO USE THIS AS I HAVE OUTLINED. If you do not know where the ground pin is on an AC outlet, you should not use it.
