If the Vin indicator is unlit on the power inserter, it means there is no DC power going into the power inserter. Ensure the supplied power adapter is plugged into the outlet and that the outlet is providing AC power. Also, make sure the power adapter is connected to the power inserter.
Why does my Winegard GM-9000 Antenna continuously search without acquiring satellites?
Obstructions like trees, buildings, or even heavy rain or snow can block the satellite signal. Make sure the southern sky is clear. If there's snow or dew on the dome of your Winegard Antenna, gently brush it off. In heavy rain or snowfall, you might need to wait for the weather to clear.
What to do if Winegard GM-9000 locks signal but receiver shows no picture?
If the Winegard Antenna appears to lock onto a signal, but your receiver isn't showing a picture or signal reading, it's likely that your receiver isn't properly configured for the Carryout G3 antenna. You should verify the switch settings are correctly set for your provider. Also, reconfigure the receiver according to the instructions.
Why is antenna indicator unlit on Winegard GM-9000 Antenna power inserter?
If the antenna indicator is unlit on the power inserter, there might be no communication between the power inserter and the Carryout G3 antenna. Ensure the included 25’ coaxial cable is properly connected between the power inserter’s ANTENNA port and the Carryout G3 PRIMARY port. Also, make sure the power button on the power inserter is pushed to the ON position. If the issue persists, try replacing the 25’ coaxial cable with a different RG6 coaxial cable or connect the coax directly, bypassing any interior/exterior pre-wires.
Why is the receiver indicator unlit on my Winegard GM-9000 power inserter?
If the receiver indicator is unlit on the power inserter, it indicates no communication between the receiver and the power inserter. Ensure the 3’ coaxial cable between the receiver and the power inserter’s RECEIVER port is properly connected. For DIRECTV users, ensure the receiver is compatible and configured correctly. If the cable is connected and the receiver is properly configured, try using a different RG6 coaxial cable.
What to do if Winegard Antenna indicator is flickering?
If the antenna indicator is faintly lit or flickering on the power inserter, it suggests intermittent communication between the power inserter and the Carryout G3. Ensure the included 25’ cable is being used and is properly connected between the power inserter ANTENNA port and the Carryout G3 PRIMARY port. Consider replacing the 25’ coaxial cable with a different RG6 coaxial cable, and connect the coax directly, avoiding any interior/exterior pre-wires.
