1. Turn on receiver and television set. The Carryout
antenna must be connected to a receiver that is
plugged into 120 VAC.
2. Verify that you are getting any of the receiver’s
menu screens on the television. These screens are
available with or without the dish nding the signal.
3. Connect the power for the Carryout
antenna. The
dish will detect if it is already on a satellite signal. If it
detects a signal, the dish will move to check it’s alternate
satellite and then move back to the original satellite
signal that is on.
4. If no signal was detected, the dish will begin its search
to locate the primary satellite. Once the dish locates a
signal, it will pause long enough to identify which satellite
it has located. This may or may not be visible on your
receiver’s point dish screen.
5. After the unit has veried that it has the correct
satellite, it will move to check the alternate satellite
and move back to the primary satellite to complete
the search routine.
6. Once the unit stops moving for more than one min-
ute, it should be locked on the signal. Your receiver
may need a moment or two to download new program-
ming before veiwing is possible.
7. If you do not have signal, see Troubleshooting,
p.8.
NOTE: Because the Carryout antenna uses infor-
mation from the last location that it was on a signal,
satellite acquisition may take longer if the dish is
inactive over long distance traveling.
DIRECTV must be set to the “two” satellite, oval
dish setting. In some cases, the two satellite op-
tion may not be available, when this happens, use
the three satellite option. Refer to your receiver
manual for more information.
DISH Network receivers must have the check
switch set to “SW64”. See page 6.

Note: During the Carryout antenna’s normal search
process, you may hear a slight grinding sound as
the unit checks its limits. This is normal and does
not harm the unit.
