DANGER!
INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT NEAR POWER LINES IS DANGEROUS. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
Location of your Antenna
Before attempting to install your antenna, decide on the best location to install your antenna for both safety and performance.
To determine a safe distance from wires, power lines and trees:
1.Measure the length of your antenna and multiply by 2.
2.Add this measurement to the length of your tower/mast.
If you are unable to maintain this safe distance, STOP!
Most antennas are supported by tripod masts or pipe masts attached to the chimney, roof, or to the side of the house. Generally, the higher the antenna, the better it performs. Good practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10 feet above the roof line, away from power lines and other obstructions.
Before Installing Your Antenna
If you are not sure that you can install the antenna safely, DO NOT TRY IT! Contact a professional installer.
If you cannot find a professional installer in your area, call Winegard Technical Services at
NOTE: If antenna is mounted in either of these two locations, the safest distance from power lines should be twice the length of the antenna plus the length of the mast.
Avoid this location!
