Observe the following precautions when installing the satellite
antenna. This manual also includes other safety alerts where
appropriate concerning specific installation procedures.
WARNING
Only Hughes-certified installers may install or service Hughes
antennas and their components. Installers must expressly
acknowledge the Hughes requirements for Hughes installations.
DANGER
If you work on a roof, tower, or other high structure or use a
ladder or scaffold to access the work site, follow these
precautions to prevent personal injury or death:
• Walk only on sound roof structures.
• Make sure the antenna assembly and installation surface
are structurally sound so that they can support all loads
(equipment weight, ice, and wind).
• Use safety equipment (for example, a lifeline) appropriate for
the work location.
• Follow all manufacturer safety precautions for all safety and
other equipment used.
• Perform as many procedures as possible on the ground.
DANGER
• To avoid electric shock, stay at least 20 ft from power lines.
• If any part of the antenna or mount assembly comes in
contact with a power line, call the local power company to
remove it. Do not try to remove it yourself.
• For pole mount installations, be sure to obtain information
regarding underground utilities in the proposed location
before digging.
WARNING
Properly ground the antenna assembly in accordance with all
local and national electrical codes.
