Statement 1078
Safety Precautions
Warning
Installation of this antenna near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, follow the installation
directions.
Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of
these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid
the hazard.
For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety
precautions.
They may save your life!
For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions.
•
If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek
professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use
for the size and type antenna you are about to install.
•
Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting
method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install.
•
Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job.
•
Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric
power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.
•
Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your
proposed installation.
•
Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an
installation should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One
person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.
•
When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines:
–
Do not use a metal ladder.
–
Do not work on a wet or windy day.
–
Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved
shirt or jacket.
•
If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable,
and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any
of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer.
•
If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to
remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely.
•
If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.
