Chapter One Preparing the Radio

1. Services

The Radio, along with a hand-size satellite antenna, is able to receive

abundant satellite audio and data programs in most of the areas in Asia and

Africa via WorldSpace satellites (AsiaStar, AfriStar) under suitable satellite

signal reception conditions. Due to the strong reception technical capability,

the Radio may be equipped to enjoy the WorldSpace satellite services in

suitable mobile conditions.

Chapter Two Radio Service Mode

In this mode, you can control Radio through buttons or keys.

1. Install Battery

There are 3 ways for Radio power supply: Battery, DC adapter (AC/DC adapter

or Car power adapter) and USB. Batteries will stop working when DC adapter

or USB used.

Put 2 AA batteries into battery box of Radio. Both “Ni-MH” and “Alkaline” are

usable.

2.Connect Antenna

Connect antenna cable with Radio F-Type connector.

3.Fix Antenna

In general, you only need to set up Antenna within line of sight of the

WorldSpace Satellite you want to receive the services from. For example, from

your location, AfriStar is at your Southwest direction, if you can make Antenna

face southwest without blockage of sky, you may receive its signal. After some

angle and direction adjustments, you will have a better reception.

For more precise and professional analysis, here is certain operation:

♦

Elevation angle and azimuth are related with user’s location.

♦

Please check the relevant angle information from Appendix F and G of this

manual.

♦

Adjust antenna orientation and make it face to WorldSpace Satellites.

For example, in Shanghai, you can find out values of Elevation angle and

Azimuth from Appendix F: Elevation angle=49 and Azimuth=-30. Then, put

antenna face to up sky (49

) of southwest (-300).

Note: Approximate orientation is enough.
