ELECTRICAL HAZARD WARNINGS
1. Outdoor antennas and antenna cables are electrical
conductors. Transients or electrostatic discharges that
may occur at the antenna (e.g., lightning) may damage
your electronic equipment and cause personal injury or
death to persons touching the exposed metal connectors
of the antenna cable.
2. To avoid damage and personal injury, the entire antenna
cabling system must be grounded at all times.
3. When installing, disconnecting or replacing one of the
cabling components, you must ensure at all times that
each exposed metal connector of the antenna cabling
system is grounded locally during the work. For example
when mounting or replacing the RoamAbout Lightning
Protector:
•
Connect each of the low-loss antenna cable
connectors to the grounding system.
•
Connect the RoamAbout 50-cm Cable Assembly
connector to the grounding system.
•
Connect the RoamAbout Lightning Protector to the
grounding system.
4. Before you proceed, verify that each component is
properly grounded and that the ground is not interrupted
when disconnecting any one of the antenna system
components.
5. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the lightning protector and cable connectors are
properly grounded.
6. Only after verifying that each item is properly grounded,
replace the lightning protector and reconnect the cables in
reverse order.
