WARNING: GPS Antenna
n
Avoid electrocution and RF safety hazards such as power lines and high-energy radio
transmission antennas.
n
Where potential hazards exist, have a qualified technician perform the installation.
n
Observe local codes and regulations.

Safe Antenna and Cable Connection
: An outside antenna or cable system must be properly
grounded to provide some protection against built up static charges and voltage. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (In Canada, part 1 of the Canadian
Electrical Code) provides information regarding proper grounding of the mast and sup-
porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
n
Keep Antenna Clear of High Voltage Power Lines or Circuits
: Locate an outside antenna sys-
tem well away from power lines and electric light or power circuits so it will never touch
these power sources should it ever fail. When installing an antenna, absolutely never
touch power lines, circuits, or other power sources, as this could be fatal.
