Compatible Receivers
Receiver models change frequently.
DIRECTV® Receiver Compatibility
The Carryout G3 antenna is not compatible with DIRECTV SWM-only
receivers (e.g. H25 or HR34). If you have a SWM-only technology
receiver, Winegard Model SWM-840 kit is available. This SWM kit
will allow for proper SWM technology operation with Winegard mobile
satellite TV antennas. When using the SWM-840 kit, you will only be
able to receive SD broadcasts off Satellite 101.
DISH® Receiver Compatibility
Operation may require an HD receiver. The antenna is not compatible
with DISH Hopper™ or Joey™ receivers. Dual tuner receivers will require
two coax connections from the antenna. In order to simultaneously watch or
record two different programs, each program must be broadcast from the
same satellite.
Compatible Satellites
DIRECTV:101° or 119° (will not receive HD on 110° or any
KA-band HD on 99° and 103°)
DISH (Western Arc): 110°, 119°, 129°
Bell TV: 91° or 82°

Switch Settings
The Carryout G3 antenna switch settings are located on the Winegard
Power Inserter and are preset for DIRECTV programming.
To set the antenna for DISH or Bell, locate the switches
on the Power Inserter and set according to the diagram at the right.
Power Inserter Switches
Installing the Handle
1) Locate the handle in the box. With “WINEGARD” on the handle facing
upwards, align the handle in the base.
2) Thread the two provided screws from hardware bag through the two aligned
holes in the bottom of the handle.
3) Tighten the two screws using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
Choosing a Location
1) 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. See NOTE.
2) 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.
3) Select a location that will enable the Carryout G3 antenna to sit within three
degrees of level. The antenna may take longer to lock onto signal if the
antenna is not level.
Wiring the Antenna
1) Ensure the power button on the Winegard Power Inserter is in the OFF
position (not pressed in). See NOTE.
2) Connect the included 25’ coaxial cable between the primary port of the
Carryout G3 and the ANTENNA port on the Power Inserter. Tighten coax
connections until finger tight, and tighten a quarter turn more with a wrench.
Do not overtighten.
3) Connect the included 3’ coaxial cable between the “SAT IN” port of your
satellite receiver and the RECEIVER port of the Winegard Power Inserter.
Tighten coax connections until finger tight, and tighten a quarter turn more
with a wrench. Do not overtighten.
4) Plug power adapter into 110/120VAC outlet and connect to power port on
Power Inserter (located next to RECEIVER coax port).
5) Once system is fully connected, press the power button on the Power
Inserter.
6) Give the Carryout G3 antenna approximately 3-5 minutes to complete the
search sequence. Once the Carryout G3 antenna has gone completely quiet,
proceed to configure receiver for desired operation. For DIRECTV, see page 3.
For DISH, page 4.

solid objects. For this reason, it is vital to
select a location with a clear, unobstructed view
of the southern sky.
A 25’ coaxial cable is included with the
NOTE
antenna. To ensure proper operation, use
only the included coaxial cable. Failure to use the
included coax cable or use of the interior/exterior
pre-wiring could hinder proper operation.
Verify operation by running the coax cable directly
between the power inserter and the unit for the
initial setup.

Receiver Setup
Connect the receiver to a power source, and complete receiver
setup. Receiver setup for the primary receiver follows; if your receiver
differs from the options shown, you may need to consult your receiver
manual. The wording and display used in your receiver may differ
slightly.
1) With power to the Carryout G3 off, press the Menu button on your
remote. Select “Settings”. Figure 1.
2) Select “Satellite”. Figure 2.
3) In your receiver menu, you will need to identify the Satellite
menu. Once there, find the option for Satellite Setup. Figure 3.

of SWM or Multiswitch, select “Multiswitch”. Figure 4.
5) Power on the antenna, and allow the antenna 3– 4 minutes to
acquire satellites. Once the antenna has finished acquiring a
signal, the antenna will be silent. Do not proceed to the next step
until this has happened.
6) After the antenna has acquired signal, press “Continue”; the
receiver will automatically verify the setup.
7) Errors may be displayed on the screen. It is normal to see one or
two boxes with an X instead of a . Select “Continue”. Figure 5.

• No DC power into power inserter • Ensure supplied power adapter is plugged into outlet and
that outlet is providing AC power
• Ensure power adapter is connected to power inserter
• No communication between
receiver and power inserter
• Intermittent communication
between receiver and power inserter
• No communication between power
inserter and Carryout G3 antenna
• Ensure 3’ coaxial cable between receiver and power
inserter’s RECEIVER port is properly connected
• For DIRECTV users, ensure receiver is compatible and
configured correctly. See page 3 for configuration instructions
• If cable is connected and receiver is properly configured, try
different piece of RG6 coaxial cable
• Replace 3’ coaxial cable piece with a different piece RG6
coaxial cable
• Ensure included 25’ coaxial cable is being used and is
properly connected between power inserter’s ANTENNA port
and Carryout G3 PRIMARY port
• Ensure power button on power inserter pushed in ON position
• Replace 25’ coaxial cable with different RG6 coaxial cable
• Connect the coax directly and do not use any interior/exterior
pre-wires.

• Intermittent communication
between power inserter and
Carryout G3
• Possible obstructions are blocking
signal from the satellite
• Receiver improperly configured for
the Carryout G3 antenna
• Switches are not set for the correct
provider
• Ensure included 25’ cable is being used and is properly
connected between power inserter ANTENNA port and
Carryout G3 PRIMARY port
• Replace 25’ coaxial cable with a different RG6 coaxial cable
• Connect the coax directly and do not use any interior/exterior
pre-wires.
• 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.
• 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
• Set the switches to the correct programming provider. See
switch settings on page 2

Using Outside Receptacle
Transporting & Maintenance
If your outside TV receptacle is wired for satellite, you’ll need
to locate where that receptacle leads and connect that directly
to your satellite receiver.
If the outside TV receptacle is wired for cable, the wiring will
have to be modified for use with satellite. The coaxial cable
cannot run through any other devices or switches before the
satellite receiver.
Typically, if wired for cable, the wiring will either run through
a Winegard power supply or video switch. The easiest way
to fix this is to disconnect the cable from that device, use a
barrel connector, and connect a new cable that runs directly
to the receiver, bypassing the power supply or video switch.
Before transporting the antenna, disconnect all coaxial cabling
from antenna and power inserter. Unplug power adapter from
outlet.
The Carryout G3 antenna is designed to be maintenance free.
However, it is a good idea to periodically clean the dome with a
soft cloth, water, and dish soap.
