For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions.

1. Before you install the equipment, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use.

2. Find someone to help you—installing outdoor equipment is often a two-person job.

3. 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.

4. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation.

5. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. 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.

6. When installing your equipment, follow these guidelines:

a. Do not use a metal ladder.

b. Do not work on a wet or windy day.

c. Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket.

7. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the equipment is often an excellent conductor of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of its parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the equipment and the installer.

8. If any part of the equipment 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.

9. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.
