Possible Cause
• no DC power into power inserter
• no communication between receiver
and power inserter
• Intermittent communication between
receiver and power inserter
• no communication between power
inserter and Carryout G2 + antenna
• Intermittent communication between
power inserter and Carryout G2 +
• Possible obstructions are blocking
signal from the satellite
• receiver improperly configured for
the Carryout G2+ antenna
• switches are not set for the correct
provider
solution
• ensure power adapter is plugged into outlet and that outlet is
providing AC power
• ensure power adapter is connected to power inserter
• 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 G2 + PrIMArY port
• ensure power button on power inserter pushed in on position
• replace 25' coaxial cable with different rG6 coaxial cable
• ensure included 25' cable is being used and is properly
connected between power inserter AntennA port and
Carryout G2 + PrIMArY port
• replace 25' coaxial cable with a different rG6 coaxial cable
• 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
