IMPORTANT SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Many do-it-yourself and professional antenna installers
are injured or killed each year by electric shock. While
anyone can see the obvious danger of falling, the most
resourceful sometimes fail to recognize overhead wires
as being potentially lethal. To touch any part of the anten-
na mast or guy wire to these overhead wires is the same
as touching the wires with your bare hand. A very serious
shock is almost sure to result when contacting an electri-
cal wire, and in the case of primary wires on the top of
poles, the shock is like being struck by a bolt of lighten-
ing. Many power wires are within 20 to 25 feet of the
ground and could easily be touched by an assembled an-
tenna and mast.
Please read and follow these important safety precau-
tions:
• Be sure to select an antenna site well away from all
overhead wires.
• Do not try to guess which overhead wires carry high
voltage. Check with the power company.
• If you notice anything making contact with the over-
head wires, call the power company to have it
removed safely.
• Do not run the downlead cable over power wires.
