Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare the unit for unsafe conditions like electrical storms?
Disconnect all equipment from the power source, and disconnect the antenna and cable system.
What steps are required for safe outdoor antenna installation?
The outside antenna or cable system must be properly grounded to protect against static charges. Use an electrician for verification if uncertain.
What precautions should I take regarding moving or storing the unit?
Before taking it out of storage, check Section 8 and 9 (Installation section) again to ensure proper setup.
Are there any operational hazards I need to be aware of?
Never block ventilation slots. If blocked, heat build-up may occur which is a fire hazard or cause heat damage.
