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. 

 

 

GENERAL  INSTALLATION  INSTRUCTIONS  FOR MAST MOUNTED  ANTENNAS 

1.   Carefully follow the mounting instructions  of the product. 
2.   Connect  your mast at Ground by using a copper wire of minimum  section 6 mm

2

3.   Pay attention to the correct locking of nuts and screws. 
4.   If necessary (windy areas or very long masts) the use of special anti-wind rods is 

recommended. 

5.   While your antenna  is on Tx mode (transmitting)  DO NOT stand nearby. 
6.   It is recommended  to strictly respect the maximum  power settled by law and 

follow the instructions  manual of the product. 

7.   Stick self-adhering 

“DANGER” label at eye level on your mast.
