GS10/GS15, Safety Directions 83



DANGER If the product is used with accessories, for example on masts, staffs, poles, you may

increase the risk of being struck by lightning. Danger from high voltages also exists

near power lines. Lightning, voltage peaks, or the touching of power lines can cause

damage, injury and death.

Precautions:

• Do not use the product in a thunderstorm as you can increase the risk of being

struck by lightning.

• Be sure to remain at a safe distance from electrical installations. Do not use the

product directly under or close to power lines. If it is essential to work in such an

environment contact the safety authorities responsible for electrical installations

and follow their instructions.

• If the product has to be permanently mounted in an exposed location, it is advis-

able to provide a lightning conductor system. A suggestion on how to design a

lightning conductor for the product is given below. Always follow the regulations

in force in your country regarding grounding antennas and masts. These installa-

tions must be carried out by an authorised specialist.

• To prevent damages due to indirect lightning strikes (voltage spikes) cables, for

example for antenna, power source or modem should be protected with appro-

priate protection elements, like a lightning arrester. These installations must be

carried out by an authorised specialist.

• If there is a risk of a thunderstorm, or if the equipment is to remain unused and

unattended for a long period, protect your product additionally by unplugging all

systems components and disconnecting all connecting cables and supply cables,

for example, instrument - antenna.
