Cisco WPAN Yagi Antenna (ANT-WPAN-Y-OUT-N)

Safety Instructions

WARNING: Installation of this antenna near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, follow the installation directions.
Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was
aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard.
For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save
your life!
For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions.

If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your
Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install.

Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before you begin.

Choose your installation site with safety performance in mind. Remember that electric power cables and telephone lines
look alike. For your safety, assume that any line is an electric power line until determined otherwise.

Call your local power company or building maintenance organization if you are unsure about cables close to your mounting
location.

When installing your antenna, do not use a metal ladder. Dress in rubber soled shoes and heels, rubber gloves, and a
long-sleeved shirt or jacket.

If an accident or emergency occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.

Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the
size and type of antenna that you are about to install.

Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job.

Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone
lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.

Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation.

Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do
it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.

If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are
all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an
electrical path through the antenna and the installer.

If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call
your local power company to have it removed safely.

If an accident occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.
