2 Important Safety Information
THE INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT NEAR POWER
LINES IS DANGEROUS. FOLLOW THE ENCLOSED
DIRECTIONS.
1. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety, seek
PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE. Your dealer can explain which mounting
method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install.
2. Select your installation site with safety; the distance from power lines should be
at least twice the height of the antenna and mast combined. REMEMBER:
ELECTRIC POWER LINES AND PHONE LINES LOOK ALIKE. FOR YOUR
SAFETY, ASSUME THAT ANY OVERHEAD LINES CAN KILL YOU. When
installing your antenna, REMEMBER:
a. DO NOT use a metal ladder.
b. DO NOT work on a wet or windy day.
c. DO dress properly (shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves,
long sleeve shirt or jacket).
3. If the assembly starts to drop, get away and let it fall. Remember, the antenna,
the mast, the cable and the metal 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.
4. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line,
DON
’T TOUCH IT OR TRY TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF. CALL YOUR LOCAL
POWER COMPANY. They will remove it safely.
