USING YOUR RECEIVER

P O WE R

Using AC power

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 mini- mum 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.

To change over from AC power to battery power, remove the plug from the DC IN jack. Always disconnect the adaptor from the wall outlet when not in use.

Using batteries

The receiver can also operate on battery power using three size “C” or type R14 batteries. To install the batteries:

1)Remove antenna. Remove battery cover which also serves as the WorldSpace antenna pocket, by releasing cover latch and sliding the cover down.

2)Insert the batteries. Be certain to match the polarities (+/-) as shown.

3)Replace the battery cover.

When you switch the receiver power on (the power switch is on the top panel of the receiver), the front LCD panel indicates the state of the batteries:
