DANGER:
Outdoor antennas and antenna cables are electrical
conductors. Transients or electrostatic discharges that may
occur at the antenna (for example a lightning strike during
thunderstorms) may damage your electronic equipment
and cause personal injury or death to persons touching
the exposed metal connectors of the antenna cable.
To avoid damage and personal injury, the entire antenna
cabling system must be grounded at all times.
When installing, disconnecting or replacing one of the
cabling components, you must ensure at all times that
each exposed metal connectors of the antenna cabling
system will be grounded locally during the work.
3.
The location where you will install the antenna(s) must be at a
safe distance from power lines or telephone lines. The safe
distance should be at least twice the height of the antenna
mast
plus
the height of the antenna.
!
DANGER:
The antennas and cables are electrical conductors.
Contact of these components with power lines can result in
serious personal injury, or possibly death. Do not install
this antenna where there is any possibility of contact with
high-voltage arc-over from power cables or service drops
to buildings. The antenna, supporting mast and/or tower
must not be close to any power lines during installation,
removal or in the event of part of the system should
accidentally fail.
Apply a “Danger” label to a plainly visible area of the
antenna support structure.
