All-Band Roof Antenna  (200-0014)     Safety Tips      Faxback Doc. # 7133

INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT NEAR POWER LINES IS DANGEROUS.  FOR YOUR
SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS.

Before you start installation, let us warn you of the danger of letting
ANY part of your antenna system touch electrical power lines.  YOU MAY BE
KILLED!

It happens more often than you realize!  Someone falls off a roof or gets
the shock of his life - or death.

Unfortunately, a good antenna site is often near electrical power lines.
And antenna systems are metal.  If any metal antenna part touches a power
line, it completes an electrical path through the antenna and the
installer (that's you).

Follow These Rules and LIVE:

1.  Perform as much antenna assembly as possible on the ground.

2.  Watch out for overhead power lines.  Check the distance to the power
    lines before you start installing - we recommend you stay a minimum of
    twice the maximum length of the antenna and mast assembly away from
    all power lines.

3.  Do not use a metal ladder.

4.  Remember, even the slightest touch of an antenna to a power line can
    cause fatal shock.

5.  Don't try to do the job on a windy day.

6.  Have a friend as a spotter when you're on a roof.  They can see things
    you can't.

7.  If you start to drop an antenna, get away from it and let it fall.

8.  If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power
    line - CALL YOUR LOCAL POWER COMPANY; DON'T TRY TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF.
    They'll remove it safely.

9.  Mast, cable and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of
    electrical current - keep them away from power lines too.

10. Be sure your family and friends understand the danger of touching
    overhead power lines.  Tell them never to try to remove any object in
    contact with a power line - CB, TV antenna or anything else.

11. Make sure the antenna mast assembly is properly grounded.

And if an accident should occur with the power lines-

  Don't grab hold of a person in contact with the antenna and power line
  (you'll get it too).

  Use a DRY board, stick or rope to push or pull the antenna away from the
  victim.

  If the victim has stopped breathing, administer artificial respiration-
  and stay with it.

  Have someone call for medical help.

As the old slogan goes..."SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT".
