Basic Operations
Setting up for WorldSpace reception
To initiate WorldSpace broadcaster reception
Before you can begin to receive broadcaster signals, it is necessary for this unit to establish what broadcaster range is available in your area. This operation is easily performed using the LEARN button.
1 Press the 
button to turn this unit on.
To adjust the WS antenna
For proper operation of this unit, do not procede to other WS band operations until you have set up the WS antenna for satellite signal reception. Using the WorldSpace service area map and graphs on pages 18 and 19 as a guide, try to position the antenna in a line of sight with the satellite with as few obstructions as possible. Adjust the antenna by rotating and tilting to direct the WS antenna in the general direction of the satellite broadcasting to your region. The antenna can also be tilted up to 60º from the base.
2Press the WS button to select the WS band.

most appropriate for the region that you live in.

6Press the LEARN button again while “LEARN?” is displayed.
“LEARN 99” appears in the display and begins counting down while the unit automatically searches for the WorldSpace broadcaster range available in your area. When the search is complete, “LEARN” disappears from the display. If the search was successful, sound is produced and the WorldSpace broadcaster range for your area is set in memory.
Notes:
•Pressing the WS button while the unit is searching ends the search and restores the unit to the previous operation mode.
•If the satellite signal reception in your area is too weak or for some reason reception is being blocked, the signals will not be received and “NO BEAM” appears in the display. Reposition or redirect the WS antenna to improve reception.
The WS antenna signal indicator in the display indicates the strength of the satellite signal being received. When the antenna icon appears alone, there is no signal being received. As the signal becomes stronger, bars appear to the right of the antenna icon. Try to adjust the antenna so that three bars appear for the strongest signal reception.

If necessary, detach the WS antenna from the mount as described on page 5, and attach the supplied extension cable in order to place the antenna in a location that provides better reception.
Extension cable (supplied)
Notes:
•When rotating the WS antenna, be sure to check that the antenna cable is not being pulled or stretched as that may cause the antenna to malfunction.
•As glass and tall structures inhibit the transmission of the signal, try to avoid directing the antenna toward windows or tall buildings.
•The signal indicator displays the reception of the overall satellite signal as opposed to actual broadcaster recep- tion. Because of this, even when the strongest signal indicator is shown, the sound may be intermittent. This is not a malfunction.
