Safety Precautions

WARNING: Installation of the antenna near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, follow the installation directions.

Each year, hundreds of people are killed, mutilated, or receive severe permanent injuries when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution but did not take adequate settings to avoid the hazard. For your safety, and to achieve a good installation, please read and follow the safety precautions below. They may save your life.

Follow the safety guidelines below.

Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind.

Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before you begin.
