Troubleshooting

WorldSpace transmissions are not received.

•Check that the WS antenna is properly connected. If using the extension cable, make sure that all connec- tions are correct and secure. Refer to page 5.

•Check that the WS antenna is positioned to receive satellite transmissions. Refer to page 9.

•Check that there are no obstructions blocking the path between the antenna and the satellite.

In the WS band, TUNER/SELECT is turned, but no broadcast is received.

•Make sure that the LEARN function has been performed to establish the broadcaster frequency available in your area. Even if the LEARN function was performed, but the antenna wasn’t correctly oriented, no broadcaster frequencies will be stored in memory. Refer to page 9.

“BC GONE” appears in the display when you try to access a specific broadcaster.

•The broadcaster at that location has stopped broadcast- ing with the WorldSpace network.

The power cannot be turned on.

•Check that the power cable is firmly inserted into the AC IN jack on the back of the unit and also plugged into an AC outlet.

Though unlikely to occur, the unit “freezes up” or becomes unoperable during use.

•When using the AC power cord, unplug the power cord from the unit or from the wall outlet, then plug it again to restart the unit.

•When using batteries, remove the batteries, then load them again.

•When using batteries and the power cord is connected, unplug the power cord from the unit, then plug it in again and restart the unit.

There is no sound from the speakers.

•Check that headphones are not plugged in.

•Check that the volume is at an audible level.

•Check that the broadcaster you have selected is not encrypted (CODED lights in the display).

Radio reception is noisy.

Adjust the antenna appropriate for the band you are receiving to improve reception. Refer to page 11.

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
