When handling the antenna cables, it is
essential you follow these basic rules:
•
Never pull on the cable connectors;
pull only on the cable.
•
Tighten the connectors and ensure
that the cables don’t rattle loose.
5. Safety
•
If you are installing an antenna for the first
time or unsure about how to install your
antenna, obtain the help of a professional
installer.
•
Carefully survey the installation site before
installation to locate secure handholds,
dangerous conditions (such as power lines
and weak roofs) and the safest and most
convenient placement for ladders if
necessary.
•
The antenna may not be used as a climbing
or pulling device.
•
Considerations must be taken when
mounting the antenna that people do not
hang or pull on it.
•
When installing your antenna, remember:
1.
Do not install near power lines as they can
electrocute you.
2.
Do not install on a wet or windy day or
when there is lighting or thunder in the area.
3.
Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels,
protective clothing (long sleeve shirt or
jacket) and rubber gloves.
4.
Avoid installation while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
