1. Outdoor antennas and lead-in conductors from antenna
to a building, should not cross over open conductors of
electric light or power circuits. They should be kept
away from all circuits to avoid the possibility of acciden tal contact.
2. Each conductor of a lead-in from an outdoor antenna should be connected with an antenna discharge unit.
Antenna discharge units (or Lightning Arrestor) should
be located outside the building or inside the building
between the point of entrance of the lead-in and the
TV, and as near as practical to the entrance of the con ductors to the building.

READ
BEFORE INSTAL-
LATION
If you do not feel comfortable or competent to install this
antenna we recommend that you seek the assistance of a
qualified professional antenna installer.
Read the instructions for this device thoroughly before
attempting installation.
The installation or dismantling of any antenna near power
lines is dangerous. Each year hundreds of people are killed
or injured while attempting to install or service antennas.
For your safety and proper antenna installation, read and
follow all safety precautions.
Choose an installation site for safety as well as perform ance.
All electric power lines, cable lines and telephone lines look
alike. To be safe, assume ANY overhead line can kill you.
Do not place an antenna where it could potentially fall on
to, or blow into a power line. If in doubt call your electric
provider. Let them review your site.
Outdoor antennas should be grounded with an approved

lighting arresting device. Local codes may apply. Use 8 AWG
or larger ground wire.
Height or other restrictions on antennas may apply to your
installation depending on your proximity to an airport, or
local ordinances.
Take the time to plan your installation procedure. Do all
assembly work on the antenna on the ground. Raise the
completed antenna after assembly.
Do NOT work on a wet, snowy or windy day or if a thunderstorm is approaching. Do NOT use a metal ladder.
If the antenna assembly starts to fall, get away from it and
let it fall. Remember that the antenna mast and cable are
all excellent conductors of electrical current.
READ
BEFORE INSTAL-
LATION
Do NOT install the antenna by yourself. Be sure that there
are two other people available for help.
If any part of the antenna should come in contact with a
power line . . . DON'T TOUCH IT OR TRY TO REMOVE IT
YOURSELF. Call your local power company immediately.
They will remove it.
Should an electrical accident occur . . . DON'T TOUCH THE
PERSON IN CONTACT WITH THE POWER LINE, or you too
can become electrocuted. Instead, use a DRY board, stick,
or rope to push or pull the victim away from the power
lines and antenna. Once clear, check the victim. If he has
stopped breathing, immediately administer cardiopul monary resuscitation (CPR) and stay with him. Have someone else call for medical help.
Install wire antennas high enough that they will not be
"walked into" by people.
Do not install antenna wire(s) over or under utility lines.
