IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

LIVES MAY BE AT RISK! Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions that are included
with the equipment you are installing.

IMPORTANT: Look over the site before beginning any installation, and anticipate possible hazards,
especially these:

CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL. Make sure no
power lines re anywhere possible contact can be made. Antennas,
masts, towers, guy wires or cables may lean or fall and contact
these lines. People may be injured or killed if they are touching or
holding any part of equipment when it contacts electric lines. Make
sure these is NO possibility that equipment or personnel can come
in contact directly or indirectly with power lines.

Assume all overhead lines are power lines.

The horizontal distance dron a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line should be at least twice the
total lenght of the mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not contact power if its falls
either during installation or later.

TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND.

- Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.
Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens.
Use approved non-conducting ladders and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good
repair.
If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.

- If anything such as wire or mst does come in contact with a poser line, DON’T TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO
MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by calling the power company.
Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.

MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND ELECTRICAL CABLES
CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS. This will help prevent fire damage or human
injury in case of lightning, static build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the antenna.

- The base of the antenna mast oor tower must be connected directly to the building protective ground or to
one or more approved grounding rods, using 1 OAWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.

- Refer to the National Eectrical Code for grounding details.
Lightning arrestors for antenna feed coaxial cables are available from QPCOM.

IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND CANNOT MOVE:

- DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.

- Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no longer are in contact with
electrical power. - Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are certified,
and make sure that emergency medical aid has been requested.
