Safety Information
Local building and electrical codes (NE C) require the
antenna and the coaxial cables to be connected to a
grounding electrode. Improper installation may seriously
damage the equipment or the building, as well as cause
injury or death to you. For your own safety, follow these
important safety rules or contact a licensed inspector or
electrician in your area for assistance:
•
If you will be mounting your antenna in a location where it
will be difficult or dangerous to view the attached bubble
level (see page 6), use a small mirror or plumbing level
instead. DO NOT risk falling
•
Perform as many functions as possible on the ground
•
Do not install the antenna on a rainy, snowy or windy day
•
Make sure there are no people, pets, etc. below when you
are working on the roof
•
Watch out for power lines which may be overhead,
underground and/or hidden behind walls, keeping safely clear
of them with ladders, antenna and tools during installation

view of the satellites
•
Climbing a ladder and working on your roof
•
Observing safe working practices around heights and
electrical hazards
•
Determining if there are water pipes, gas lines or wiring
hidden near where you may drill
•
Using a power drill to drill holes into your house
•
R outing coaxial cable(s) through foundation, wall,
under-floor, attic or interior walls
•
Safely lifting and securing the 20-lb. antenna assembly

NOTE: If you don’t feel completely comfortable with these
tasks, simply contact the store where you purchased the
system for information on having your system installed by
a local authorized DIR ECTV installer.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ruled that
a local government or homeowner’s association may not prevent
the installation of satellite antennas one meter or smaller in
diameter, unless legitimate safety restrictions such as fire codes
are in effect. Call FCC tel: (202) 418-0163; FCC Web site at
