Finding the Elevation Angle for the Current Location
Selecting a Location for the Antenna
WARNING DISH Receiver Setup
The Carryout Anser antenna is meant for stationary use only and will not function while in motion. The Anser antenna
is not intended for permanent mounting on any vehicle.
The Anser antenna is not meant for use with the Carryout ladder mount. Installing the antenna on the Carryout ladder
mount may lead to serious injury and/or equipment and property damage.
Do not install or operate the antenna in winds of 35 mph or greater. The Anser antenna will roll in winds ≥35 mph.
Do not place the antenna in water >2 inches deep, or the water may damage the electronics.
Care should be taken when transporting and setting up the Anser antenna. Do not toss or drop the antenna.
Do not paint this antenna. Painting the antenna may cause signal degradation and will void your warranty.
Find the elevation angle for your current location—the elevation angle is
needed to point the antenna. To find the elevation angle for your current
location, continue with “DISH Receiver Setup.” Even if you know the
elevation angle for your current location, you must still complete receiver
setup upon first use of the antenna.
For additional help determining the elevation angle for your current
location, refer to the elevation and coverage maps included with this unit, or
download the free Winegard Mobile App compatible with your smartphone.
If using the provided maps or smartphone app to determine your elevation
angle, you must still complete receiver setup. However, on step 10 of “DISH
Receiver Setup,” you do not need to enter the zip code or dish system.
NOTE
Satellite signal will not
pass through solid objects.
For this reason, it is vital to select a
location with a clear, unobstructed
view of the southern sky.
DISH receivers will often not show when they are on signal if they have
incorrect “Check Switch” information. For this reason, DISH users must clear
their current settings before pointing. To do this for most DISH receivers,
follow the steps below. The following instructions are based on a Solo ViP
®
211k receiver. If your receiver differs from the options shown, consult your
receiver manual.
This should clear out any previously
installed devices. Select “Done” to
return to the Point Dish Menu.
If it warns that fewer satellites were
detected, select “Save.”
Receiver setup instructions are accurate at time of printing and may change without notice.
The receiver will go through a
number of steps to detect your
satellite settings.
Make sure that there are no
checkmarks by “SuperDISH” or
“Alternate.” Select “Test.”
Select “Check Switch.” (Make sure
the coaxial cable is disconnected
from “Sat In” on the back of the
receiver before proceeding.)
Press “Menu” on your remote.
Select option 6, “System Setup.”
Choose a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the southern sky. Avoid obstructions such as trees, hills,
vehicles, or buildings—these can block the signal from the satellite.
Make sure the antenna is not placed in the path of people or vehicles; otherwise, the antenna may be knocked off of
the signal if run into, or cables may be disconnected from the unit.
Try to select a location that will allow the Carryout Anser antenna to sit within three degrees of level.
NOTE
A 25 foot power cable and
25 foot coaxial cable are
included with the antenna. Keep this
in mind when selecting a location
for the antenna.
Select option 1, “Installation.” Select option 1, “Point Dish.”
Then, select “Save” again.
Before starting receiver setup, make sure the coaxial cable is disconnected from “Sat In” on the back of the receiver.
