Safety Precautions
Warning!
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. If the
antenna is in contact with any type of overhead wires, call your
power company and ask them to send a qualified technician to
remove the antenna. Do not attempt to remove it yourself!
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 antenna 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 electrical wire, and in
the case of primary wires on the top of poles, the shock is like
being struck by a bolt of lightning. Many power wires are within 20
to 25 feet of the ground and could easily be touched by an
assembled antenna.
