Lightning protection

For added protection of any Gateway product during a lightning storm or when it is left

unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the product from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna or cable system.

Power lines

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such

power lines or circuits.

Warning

When installing or realigning an outside antenna system, extreme care

should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits. Contact
with them could be fatal.
