Safety Precautions

To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna access point unit and the external antenna must be
Note
professionally installed. The network administration or other IT professional responsible for installing and
configuring the unit is a suitable professional installer. Following installation, access to the unit should be
password protected by the network administrator to maintain regulatory compliance.
Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of
these cases, the victim is aware of the danger of electrocution, but does not take adequate steps to avoid
the hazard.
For your safety, and to help you properly install hardware, please read and follow these safety

If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek
assistance from a person with skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of
electrical equipment and has received safety training on the hazards involved.
Keep safety as well as performance in mind when selecting your installation site Remember: electric
power lines and phone lines look alike. Always assume that overhead lines are very dangerous.
Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans, and ask them to look at your proposed
installation. This is a reasonable request considering the danger.
Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or
tower is largely a matter of coordination. Assign each person a specific task, and ensure that they
know what to do and when to do it. Put one person in charge of the operation to issue instructions
and watch for signs of trouble.
When installing your antenna, remember:
Do not use a metal ladder.
a.
Do not work on a wet or windy day.
b.
Do dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.
c.
If the assembly starts to fall, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the antenna, mast, cable,
and metal guy wires are excellent conductors of electrical current and may touch power lines.
If any part of the antenna system comes in contact with a power line, don't touch it or try to remove
it yourself. Call your local power company. They can remove it safely.
