Safety Precautions

Warning!

Use extreme caution when installing or removing an outdoor
antenna that is located close to overhead wires such as power
lines, telephone lines or cable TV lines. If any part of the antenna
makes contact with overhead power lines, touching the antenna
or the antenna cable can cause electrocution and death. If the
antenna is in contact with any type of overhead wires, call your
power company and ask them to send a qualified technician to
remove the antenna. Do not attempt to remove it yourself!

HDRo

Please read and follow these important safety precautions:

•

Be sure to select an antenna site well away from all overhead wires.

• Do not try to guess which overhead wires carry high voltage.
Check with the Power Company.

• If you notice anything making contact with the overhead wires,
call the Power Company to have it removed safely. Do not run
the downlead cable over power wires.

• Get help from a qualified professional when removing the old
antenna if there is any doubt of clearing overhead wires.

• Never install the antenna outdoors at night, when it is windy, or
during rain or snow.

• Make sure the antenna installation is secure.

• Do not stand on, lean on, hang from or hang anything on the
antenna once it is mounted.

Lightning Protection and Grounding

Always plug your radio and other electronics devices into a quality
surge protector for maximum protection against lightning and
power surges.

• Do not run the downlead cable over power wires.

• Make sure the antenna downlead is connected to suitable
lightning arrestors.

Important Safety Precautions...

Many do-it-yourself and professional antenna installers are
injured or killed each year by electric shock. While anyone can see
the obvious danger of falling, the most resourceful sometimes fail
to recognize overhead wires as being potentially lethal. To touch
any part of the antenna to these overhead wires is the same as
touching the wires with your bare hand. A very serious shock is
almost sure to result when contacting an electrical wire, and in
the case of primary wires on the top of poles, the shock is like
being struck by a bolt of lightning. Many power wires are within
20 to 25 feet of the ground and could easily be touched by an
assembled antenna.

All outdoor antenna installations should be properly grounded. To
effectively protect the installation, the coaxial cable(s) should be
grounded before they enter the house. The grounding of
the coaxial cable is made using a “ground block” and copper
wire (not supplied). For information and the materials
needed to ground your antenna installation, visit your local
electronics store.
