Q U ICK S TA R T 1) Remove the WorldSpace antenna from its pocket and unwrap the cable. 2) Connect the antenna cable to the ANTENNA IN jack on the right-hand side of the receiver. 3) Connect power adaptor to receiver and to a mains power supply. Or, remove battery cover from the back of the receiver and insert 3 size “C” or type R14 batteries. Replace battery cover.
A N T E NN A PO S I T I O N “Antenna Position” refers to the angle abo ve the horizon to which you should point the antenna . The antenna can be put in three positions: LOW, MIDDLE, and HIGH. In the LOW position you put the antenna in pointing angle of less than 45º. In the MIDDLE postion it is put in an angle between 45º and 70º. In the HIGH position the pointing angle is 70º or greater.
A NTE N NA PO I NT ING GUI DE NOTE: Antenna Position and Direction are approximate guides. If you are near a region b o rd e r, please adjust antenna accordingly for your maximum signal reception.
USI N G YOU R RE C EIV E R P O WE R Using AC powe r The WorldSpace receiver operates on alternating current (AC) power. Use an AC power adaptor that will operate from your mains and deliver 4.5 – 6.0 volts DC with minimum 500 mA output current (adaptor included). To use AC power, insert the adaptor into the DC IN jack on the right-hand side of the receiver and plug the adaptor into a wall outlet. Make sure the voltage setting of the adaptor corresponds to the local voltage.
S W I TC H IN G ON YOU R R E C E I V ER Switch on the receiver by sliding the switch on the top of the receiver to the ‘On’ position. P O IN T I NG T HE A NT E NN A 1) Remove the antenna from its pocket and unwind the cable. 2) Connect the antenna cable plug to the ANTENNA IN jack on the side of the receiver. 3) Place the antenna on a horizontal surface near a window or outdoors in such a way that there are no obstacles between the antenna and the satellite.
RE CEI VI N G W O R L D S PAC E By running the LEARN mode, your Wo r l d Sp a c e re c e i ver automatically scans and s t o res all Wo r l d Sp a c e carriers and their broadcast channels available in your are a . We strongly recommend that you run the LEARN mode the first time you turn on the re c e i ver and when the receiver is moved to a new country or region.
S E L E CT IN G S ER VI C E CO M P O N E N T S WI TH I N A B R OA D C A S T C H A N N E L Some broadcast channels may have more than one service component. In this case, use the SERVICE COMPONENT +/- buttons to scroll and select the desired service component of that broadcast channel.
S EL E C TI N G ST O R ED BR O A DC A ST C H A N N E L S 1) Briefly press the PRESETS button to switch on the PRESET mode. The symbol appears on the LCD panel. 2) Scroll through stored stations sequentially by pressing the BROADCAST CHANNEL ▲/▼ buttons. D E L ET IN G S TO R ED B RO A D C A S T C H AN NE L S FR O M TH E P R E S E T L I S T 1) Switch on PRESET mode. 2) Select the BC you wish to delete from the preset list. 3) Press and hold the PRESETS button for 2 seconds.
PA S SW O R D You will be issued a password that is unique to your receiver and cannot be used with another re c e i ve r. Passwords are entered once and then stored. This password remains stored and valid for the whole subscription period. A password is either 22 or 25 digits in length. The receiver can store up to 8 passwords for different services. Entering password mode: 1) Press and hold the SERVICE COMPONENT + button for more than 2 seconds. The LCD panel shows “A _ _ _ _ _”.
2) When an encrypted station is selected, the receiver will automatically search for the necessary password. If the password is found in the memory, you will be able to hear the encrypted channel. Remarks: • During password verification, all buttons will be unavailable. • If the receiver is tuned to a decrypted BC, that channel will be muted during verification. • If the password list is full, the oldest password is replaced.
A LT E R N AT IV E AN TEN N A OP TI O NS A LINEAR antenna is supplied with your receiver. Alternatively, you may use a WorldSpace CIRCULAR antenna, or a LINEAR Yagi antenna with 2.3 volts LNA (L ow Noise Amplifier). You may also have an in-house CABLE-connected outdoor antenna. Optional antennas, LNAs and in-house installation are available separately. When changing antennas you will need to select the appropriate antenna mode: LINEAR, CIRCULAR, or CABLE.
MA IN TE N AN CE, SA FET Y, AN D HAN DL I NG P RE C A U T I O N S MA I N T E N A N C E • Use a soft damp cloth to clean the receiver housing. • Never use cleaning agents that contain alcohol, methylated spirits, ammonia or abra s i ve s . S A F E T Y PR E C A U T I O N S CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT OPEN OR R EMOVE RECEIVER CASING, EXCEPTFOR BATTERY COVER. NO U SER SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.
T R O U B L ES H O O TI N G G U ID E Problem Possib le C ause R e m e dy The receiver does not switch on. Power supply not connected properly. Check the power supply connection. Batteries not properly positioned or are empty. Ensure that the batteries are new and correctly inserted. The receiver does not receive WorldSpace. Antenna pointing is not correct. Check “Antenna Pointing Guide” (see page 4–5).
F R E Q U E N T LY A S K ED QUE S T I O N S Q u e st i o n Ans wer What is line-of-sight? Line-of-sight means the receiver’s satellite antenna has a direct and clear path to where the WorldSpace satellite is located in the sky. Why is line-of-sight needed for satellite reception? As with all satellite broadcasting, WorldSpace transmissions travel directly from the satellite to your receiver antenna. This path must be unobstructed so that the antenna can receive these transmissions.
Q u e st i o n Ans wer What do the SERVICE COMPONENT +/buttons do? Allow listeners to scroll through a broadcast channel’s available service components. Press the SERVICE COMPONENT + and SERVICE COMPONENT - buttons to scroll forward and backward, respectively, through available service components. These buttons have some additional features. Press the SERVICE COMPONENT + button and hold it 2 seconds to enter PASSWORD ENTRY mode.
