configured correctly. see page 3 for configuration instructions

• 

If cable is connected and receiver is properly configured, try 
different piece of rG6 coaxial cable

receiver indicator faintly lit or

• 

ensure included 25’ coaxial cable is being used and is properly 
connected between power inserter’s AntennA port and 
Carryout G2

 PrIMArY port

• 

ensure power button on power inserter pushed in on position

• 

replace 25’ coaxial cable with different rG6 coaxial cable

replace 25’ coaxial cable with a different rG6 coaxial cable

the antenna continuously searches 
and eventually stops without ever 
acquiring any satellites.

• 

Possible obstructions are blocking 
signal from the satellite

• 

Check to see if the southern sky is clear. trees, buildings, large 
signs, or an overpass can block the signal

• 

rain, snow, or excessive dew on the dome can interrupt the 
signal. Brush any snow or dew off of the dome. If heavy rain or 
snowfall is blocking the signal, it may be necessary to wait until 
the weather clears.

the antenna appears to lock onto 
signal, but my receiver does not 
show a picture or signal reading

• 

receiver improperly configured for 
the Carryout G2

+

 antenna

• 

Verify the switch settings are set correctly for the desired 
provider. see switch settings on page 2

• 

reconfigure the receiver according to steps on page 3 or 4

 I have switched satellite service
