Features
Overview: The Channel Master CM-2016 is a compact outdoor TV antenna
that is engineered to receive high quality UHF/VHF frequencies (both digital and
analog).
Mounting: It can be mounted on a roof, on a wall, or in an attic. The
saddle bracket, cross-arm bracket, and U-bolt are used to mount the antenna to
the mast.
Turning Radius: If using a rotor on the antenna mast, make sure a 34"
turning radius around the antenna is clear of obstruction.
Connections: The included transformer is connected to the antenna
tap-off points using the included wing nuts. The other end of the transformer
has a female F-type connector. The included waterproof rubber weather boot
should be installed over the cable connection to guard against corrosion.
Note: Coax cable is not provided, RG-6 is recommended.
Grounding: The antenna and mast should be properly grounded. Grounding
provides lightning protection for the antenna and your TV set.
Note: No grounding hardware is provided with the antenna.
Operating Range: All distances are approximate, actual performance
depends on too many variables to predict accurately.
- UHF Channels (14-69): 60 miles
- VHF Channels (7-13): 45 miles
Note: For low band channels 2 to 6, an oversized antenna will be
needed.
