Note:
Transmit Antenna
Regulations regarding maximum antenna gains vary from country to country. It is
the responsibility of the end user to operate within the limits of these regulations
and to ensure that the professional installer is aware of these regulations, as well.
Violation of government regulations exposes the end user to legal and financial liabilities.
BreezeCOM, its resellers and distributors shall not be liable for expense or damage
incurred as a result of installations which exceed local transmit gain limitations.

2.6.13 Lightning Protection

Lightning protection is designed to protect people, property and equipment by
providing a path to ground for the lightning's energy. The lightning arrestor diverts
the strike energy to ground through a deliberate and controlled path instead of
allowing it to choose a random path. Lightning protection for a building is more
forgiving than protection of electronic devices. A building can withstand up to
100,000 volts, but electronic equipment may be damaged by just a few volts.
The Outdoor unit contains an internal lightning protection unit, and should be
installed and grounded at the point where the cable enters the building.
User's Guide
Detached antennas, whether installed indoors or out, should be installed
ONLY by experienced antenna installation professionals who are familiar with
local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the
appropriate government regulatory authorities.
Failure to do so may void the BreezeNET Product Warranty and may expose
the end user to legal and financial liabilities. BreezeCOM and its resellers or
distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation of government
regulations associated with the installation of detached antennas.
