Winegard 2452276 instruction manual Dish Receiver Setup, Selecting a Location for the Antenna

WARNING

The Carryout Anser antenna is meant for stationary use only and will not function while in motion. The Anser antenna is not intended for permanent mounting on any vehicle.

The Anser antenna is not meant for use with the Carryout ladder mount. Installing the antenna on the Carryout ladder mount may lead to serious injury and/or equipment and property damage.

Do not install or operate the antenna in winds of 35 mph or greater. The Anser antenna will roll in winds ≥35 mph.

Do not place the antenna in water >2 inches deep, or the water may damage the electronics.

DISH Receiver Setup

DISH receivers will often not show when they are on signal if they have incorrect “Check Switch” information. For this reason, DISH users must clear their current settings before pointing. To do this for most DISH receivers, follow the steps below. The following instructions are based on a Solo ViP® 211k receiver. If your receiver differs from the options shown, consult your receiver manual.

TIP Check out online receiver setup guides for your

antenna at www.winegard.com/ receivers/setupguide.php.

Care should be taken when transporting and setting up the Anser antenna. Do not toss or drop the antenna.

Do not paint this antenna. Painting the antenna may cause signal degradation and will void your warranty.

Selecting a Location for the Antenna

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.

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.

Try to select a location that will allow the Carryout Anser antenna to sit within three degrees of level.

NOTE Satellite signal will not pass through solid objects.

For this reason, it is vital to select a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the southern sky.

NOTE A 25 foot power cable and 25 foot coaxial cable are

included with the antenna. Keep this in mind when selecting a location for the antenna.

Finding the Elevation Angle for the Current Location

Before starting receiver setup, make sure the coaxial cable is disconnected from “Sat In” on the back of the receiver.

Find the elevation angle for your current location—the elevation angle is needed to point the antenna. To find the elevation angle for your current location, continue with “DISH Receiver Setup.” Even if you know the elevation angle for your current location, you must still complete receiver setup upon first use of the antenna.

For additional help determining the elevation angle for your current location, refer to the elevation and coverage maps included with this unit, or download the free Winegard Mobile App compatible with your smartphone. If using the provided maps or smartphone app to determine your elevation angle, you must still complete receiver setup. However, on step 10 of “DISH Receiver Setup,” you do not need to enter the zip code or dish system.
