Hint
To locate a stud underneath panel
siding, locate the nails securing the
panel to the wall. The nails usually
align with the center of the stud and
provide an easy guide.
DANGER! AVOID Power Lines!

contact with overhead power lines, electric lights, and power
circuits. Contact with power lines, electric lights, or power
circuits may be fatal. It is recommended that the dish be
located more than 20 feet from overhead power lines.
