WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT
NEAR POWER LINES IS DANGEROUS. FOR
YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
DIRECTIONS.
If any metal antenna part touches a power line,
it completes a circuit path through anyone
touching the antenna. Power line voltage is le-
thal. You can be killed.
Before You Begin
Before you begin installation, read this manual and its
safety information. For your safety and convenience, plan
each step of the installation and purchase the necessary
hardware you will need in advance at your local electron-
ics store. The order in which you perform the steps and the
hardware required depends on the mounting and connec-
tion methods you choose.
To prevent serious injuries and death, follow
these safety rules:
•
If you are not sure you can install the antenna safely, do not
try to do it yourself. Check the phone listings under Televi-
sion Antenna Systems, or call your local power company.
• Assemble as much of the antenna as possible on the
ground.
• Watch for overhead power lines. Check the distance to
powerlines before you begin installing. We recommend
that you keep a minimum distance of twice the total
length of the mast and antenna assembly between your
antenna site and the nearest power line.
•
The antenna mast, cable, and guy wires all are excel-
lent electrical conductors. Keep these away from power
lines.
• Do not use a metal ladder.

• Do not attempt installation on a windy day.
•
Have a friend act as a spotter when you are on the ladder
or on the roof. A spotter could see things you might not.
• If the antenna starts to fall, let go of it and let it fall.
• If any part of the antenna system touches a power line,
call your local power company and ask them to remove
it. Do not try to remove it yourself.
• Be sure your family and friends understand the danger
of touching overhead power lines. They should never try
to remove any object touching a power line.
If someone touches a power line:
• Do not touch anyone still in contact with the antenna or
the power line.
• Use a dry board, stick, or rope to move the antenna away
from the victim.
• If the victim stops breathing, administer articial respira-
tion until help arrives.
• Have someone call for medical help
Where to mount your antenna
You can mount this antenna at a maximum height of 60 feet
above ground level, provided that:
• You locate the antenna more than 1¼ miles from the
nearest airport runway.
• The antenna site’s elevation above mean sea level is no
greater than that of the nearest airport.
•
If your site does not meet both of these conditions, do not
mount your antenna more than 20 feet above the ground.
•
Note: Refer to FCC Bulletin 1001H for further information.
• Mount your antenna where solid structural support is
available and where the incoming signal has minimum
interference. The best place is on a roof, with the mast
secured to a gable or chimney.
Note: Large amounts of smoke and soot can form depos-
its on the antenna, and lower its efciency. Check local
zoning ordinances for antenna installation regulations.
