USING YOUR RECEIVER
P O WE R
Using AC powe r
The Wo r l d Sp a c e re c e i ver operates on alternating current (AC) powe r. Use an AC powe r
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 powe r, insert the adaptor into the DC IN jack on the right-hand side of the
re c e i ver 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 powe r, re m ove the plug from the DC IN
jack. Always disconnect the adaptor from the wall outlet when not in use.
Using batteries
The re c e i ver can also operate on battery power using t h ree size “C” or type R14
batteries. To install the batteries:
1 ) Re m ove antenna. Re m ove battery cover which also serves as the Wo r l d Sp a c e
antenna pocket, by releasing cover latch and sliding the cover dow n .
2) I n s e rt the batteries. Be certain to match the polarities (+/-) as show n .
3) Replace the battery cove r.
When you switch the re c e i ver power on (the power switch is on the top panel of the
re c e i ver), the front LCD panel indicates the state of the batteries:
