    Use extreme caution when installing or removing an outdoor antenna that is located close to overhead wires such as power lines, telephone lines or cable TV lines. If any part of the antenna makes contact with overhead power lines, touching the antenna or the antenna cable can cause electrocution and death.
  • Page 4 Please read and follow these important safety precautions: • 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 overhead wires, call the Power Company to have it removed safely.
