￿ Power Lines—An outside antenna system should

not be located in the vicinity of overhead power

lines or other electric light or power circuits, or

where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.

When installing an outside antenna system,

extreme care should be taken to keep from

touching such power lines or circuits as contact

with them might be fatal.

￿ Outdoor Antenna Grounding—If an outside

antenna is connected to the television equipment,

be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to

provide some protection against voltage surges

and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,

provides information with regard to proper

grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
