I have a wineguard G2 carry out that I'm using for the first time. It was my understanding it was mostly plug and play, not so. I have traveled from Va to Fla and tried to call and get my programming...
I have this setup. The unit normally comes with the dip switches set for Direct TV. You do need a 12 volt power source connected to it. The directions you received will tell you how to get it going and in the event you have to reset the internal switches the directions explain how to do that. You do have directions,right? Be sure nothing is blocking the path to the satellite. Once you have it setup and plug in the power (12 volts) you should hear it start to search for the satellite.
