Safety Information
5. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the antenna, pole, 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 complete an electrical path through the antenna and the installer: you!
6. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, don’t touch it or try to
remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely.
If an accident should occur with the power lines call for qualified emergency help immediately.
Typical Outdoor Access Point Installation Components
The outdoor access point is designed to be installed in an outdoor environment, such as a tower, street
light, or tall building. Note that you can install the outdoor access point at any height, but best outdoor
access point-to-outdoor access point throughput is achieved when the outdoor access points are mounted
within line of sight of each other.
A typical outdoor access point installation diagram is shown in Figure 2-1.
