DANGER
Do not select a location to install the satellite
dish antenna near power lines. You can be
killed if the satellite dish antenna comes into
contact with electric power lines.
•
Do not contact overhead power lines
•
Check the distance to any nearby power
lines before starting installation. Stay at
least 20 feet away from all power lines.
•
If any part of the satellite dish antenna or
mast assembly comes into contact with a
power line, call your local power
company. Do not try to remove it
yourself. They will remove it safely.
CAUTION
Local electric codes and the National Electric
Code (NEC) require the satellite dish antenna
to be grounded. Grounding the satellite dish
antenna helps protect against damage caused
by static voltage buildup. Grounding can also
protect against voltage surges created by
nearby lightning strikes.
WARNING
For your own safety, follow these important
safety rules:
•
Perform as many functions as possible
on the ground.
•
Do not install the satellite dish antenna
on a rainy or windy day.
•
If you start to drop the satellite dish
antenna or mast assembly, get away
from it and let it fall.
