The Outdoor Cabling Components
ELECTRICAL HAZARD WARNINGS
1. Outdoor antennas and antenna cables are electrical conductors. Transients or electrostatic discharges that may occur at the antenna (e.g., lightning) may damage your electronic equipment and cause personal injury or death to persons touching the exposed metal connectors of the antenna cable.
2.To avoid damage and personal injury, the entire antenna cabling system must be grounded at all times.

6.Only after verifying that each item is properly grounded, replace the lightning protector and reconnect the cables in reverse order.
