The sleeves of the input and output jacks usually go to ground as they are usually connected to the metal casing and the ground lug - unless they are isolated jacks (in which case you need to ground both jack sleeves with a ground wire). Note that some circuits connect the + or positive terminal of the battery to ground (positive ground circuit), although it is more common to connect the negative terminal to ground. When a mono plug is inserted, the ground circuit will be complete and the switch will be on. If you want the input jack to switch your battery on and off, then connect the lug to ground as before, but connect the battery terminal to the middle connector (i.e. battery) and connect it to the ground lug as well. Generally speaking, take all the ground points, connect them together, then connect them to the ground lug of the input or output jack. Where do the connections that show a ground symbol go to? What is that upside-down triangle - is that ground?
