Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines
or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its
normal operation.
e.
If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f.
When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates
a need for service.

NMB-003 du Canada.
15.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.
