When selecting a location for the Carryout antenna, 

try to find 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

Other things to consider when choosing a location 

for the Carryout are traffic 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.

 

 

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.

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.
