Warning: When installing or removing a base station antenna, use extreme cau- tion. If it starts to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. If the an- tenna touches the power line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution and death! Call the power company to re- move the antenna. Do not attempt to do so yourself.

Caution: Never connect an antenna that is not specifically tuned for the transceiver’s frequency range.
