WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRE CAU TIONS

1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE

CONNECTION

An outside antenna or cable system must be
properly grounded to provide some protection
against built up static charges and voltage. Section
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/N FPA
70 (in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian Electrical
Code) provides information regarding proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structur e,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, con nec tion to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.

2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HI GH

VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS

Locate an outside antenna system well away from
power lines and electric light or power circuits so it
will never touch these power sources should it ever
fall. When installing antenna, absolutely never
touch power lines, circuits or other power sources
as this could be fatal.
