Please read and follow these important safety precautions:
• Be sure to select an antenna site well away from all overhead wires.
• Do not try to guess which overhead wires carry high voltage.
Check with the Power Company.
• If you notice anything making contact with the overhead wires,
call the Power Company to have it removed safely. Do not run
the downlead cable over power wires.
• Get help from a qualified professional when removing the old
antenna if there is any doubt of clearing overhead wires.
• Never install the antenna outdoors at night, when it is windy, or
during rain or snow.
• Make sure the antenna installation is secure.
• Do not stand on, lean on, hang from or hang anything on the
antenna once it is mounted.
Lightning Protection and Grounding
Always plug your TV and other electronics devices into a quality
surge protector for maximum protection against lightning and
power surges.
• Do not run the downlead cable over power wires.
• Make sure the antenna downlead is connected to suitable
lightning arrestors.
All outdoor antenna installations should be properly grounded. To
effectively protect the installation, the coaxial cable(s) should be
grounded before they enter the house. The grounding of
the coaxial cable is made using a “ground block” and copper
wire (not supplied). For information and the materials
needed to ground your antenna installation, visit your local
electronics store.
