2 KEEP ANTENNA
CLEAR
OF HIGH VOLTAGE
POWER
LINES OR
CIRCUITS
An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines,
electric light or power circuits and where it will never come into contact with
these power sources if it should happen to fall, When installing an outside
antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits or
other power sources as this could be fatal, Because of the hazards involved,
antenna installation should be left to a professional.
