Setting up the Carryout
Location selection:
When selecting a location for the Carryout antenna,
try to nd a location that is fairly level and has a clear
view of the southern sky. It is important to make sure
that the location provides a stable enough surface to
keep the Carryout from falling over during use.
Other things to consider when choosing a location
for the Carryout are trafc patterns and the weather.
Placing the Carryout near a walking path may cause
people to trip over the cables or knock the Carryout
off of the signal.
NOTE: The Carryout antenna comes with 50’ of cable. Keep
this in mind when selecting a location.
Connect Power:
Plug the Power Cord into the quick disconnect
socket in the Carryout base. Make sure that the lock
‘clicks’ when you plug the cord in. This will ensure a
good connection. See Figures 2 and 3.
Connect Coax to the Main connection on the base
of the antenna. Do not use a wrench to tighten the
cable. The coax provided uses weather proof con-
nectors which can be damaged if over tightened.
Connecting the cables:
Note: If the receiver is used for DIRECTV HD program-
ming at home, be sure that the B-Band converter has been
removed prior to connecting the Carryout Antenna.

MAIN Port
SECONDARY Port
The Carryout comes with two coax ports set in the base. The MAIN port will control the Toggle
function (discussed on pg. 6) and should always be connected when the Carryout is in use.
This cable should run to the “Sat In” port on the back of the receiver that you will watch most often.
Once the Carryout antenna is connected to your receiver, you can plug it into a 12V Cigarette plug
outlet in your vehicle or a 120V to 12VDC converter with a cigarette style outlet.
Note: When connecting the Carryout antenna Winegard recommends using a 120V to 12VDC power converter or
12VDC power source that meets power supply specications listed on pg. 7.
