For safety and to achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions:

• Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in mind. Remember: electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For safety, assume that any overhead line can kill.

• Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans, and ask them to come look at your proposed installation.

• Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person 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.

• When installing the access point and antennas, remember:

  • Do not use a metal ladder.

  • Do not work on a wet or windy day.

Note	For more information about the GPS antenna and the mounting instructions, see the Cisco GPS Antenna chapter of the Connected Grid Antennas Installation Guide.

Overvoltage transients can be created through lightning static discharges, switch processes, direct contact with power lines, or through earth currents. The Cisco lightning arrestor limits the amplitude and duration of disturbing interference voltages and improves the over voltage resistance of in-line equipment, systems, and components. A lightning arrestor that is installed according to these mounting instructions balances the voltage potential, thus preventing inductive interference to parallel signal lines within the protected system.
