POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL 

Do not install the HotPoint 1500R outdoor mesh router where possible contact with power lines 
can be made. Antennas, masts, towers, guy wires or cables may lean or fall and contact these 
lines. People may be injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of equipment when it 
contacts electric lines. Make sure there is NO possibility that equipment or personnel can come in 
contact directly or indirectly with power lines. 

ASSUME ALL OVERHEAD LINES ARE POWER LINES 

 

The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line should be at 
least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not 
contact power if it falls either during or after installation.
