Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
Ifan outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions
below. An outdoorantenna.system should not be located
in
the vicinity
of
overhead power lines orotherelectric light
or powercircuits, orwhere it
can
come
in
contactwith such
power lines
or
circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOORANTENNASYSTEM,
EXTREMECARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING
POWER
LINES
OR
CIRCUITS
AS
CONTACTWITH THEM
IS
ALMOSTINVARIABLY
FATAL.
