Safety Precautions 4
Please read this section carefully before starting the installation. All
requirements listed below should be satisfied prior to starting
installation of your RoamAbout outdoor antennas.
WARNING
Do not climb rooftops in wet or windy conditions, during a
thunderstorm, or when the area where the equipment will be
installed is covered with ice or snow.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD WARNINGS
1. Antennas and cables are electrical conductors. Do not
touch antennas, RoamAbout Lightning Protectors, or
antenna cables during a thunderstorm.
2. The location where you install each antenna must be at
a safe distance from power lines or telephone lines. The
safe distance should be at least twice the height of the
antenna mast plus the height of the antenna.
3. The Contact between antenna components and power
lines can result in serious personal injury, or possibly
death.
4. Do not install antennas or cables where there is any
possibility of contact with high-voltage arc-over from
power cables or service drops to buildings.
5. During installation or removal, the antenna, supporting
mast and/or tower must not be close to any power lines.
