Warning: Use extreme caution when installing or removing an outdoor an- tenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable or guy wires can cause electro- cution and death! Call the power com- pany to remove the antenna. Do not attempt to do so yourself.

Caution: Do not run the cable over sharp edges or objects that move.
