Warnings and Safeguards
Using Your Receiver
WhILE Driving
Your safety and the safety of others on the road are
very important to us. You should be able to safely
operate and enjoy your receiver while driving, but
use caution. Keep in mind that it is dangerous (and
illegal in some areas) to use headsets while driving.
Using Your Receiver in a Plane
The Command Audio Receiver contains an FM
receiver and a low power FM transmitter that can
interfere with aircraft navigation systems if not
properly handled. You must turn off the Command
Audio receiver before boarding an aircraft. To allow
for safe air navigation and to comply with
requirements of the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA),
you must NOT turn the unit on or use it while in an
aircraft (whether on the ground or in the air) unless
you follow the instructions provided by crew
members regarding the use of portable electronic
devices.
You can still listen to stored Command Audio
programming while in an aircraft. (Command Audio
has a special “play only” mode.)
Safely Using Headsets
To safely use a headset, please keep the following in
mind:
• Do not play your headset at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, turn down
the sound or stop using the headset.
• Do not use a headset while driving a car or riding a
bike. This may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.
• Use extreme caution or do not use headsets in
potentially hazardous situations.
• Even if your headset is an open-air type designed to
let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the
volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around
you.
How you get service:
Call 1-800-755-4570 and have your unit’s
activation code and model/serial number ready.
The activation code and model/serial number
information is on the bottom of your receiver.
A representative will troubleshoot your
problem over the phone.

Welcome to
Command Audio!
Your RCA CA1000 receiver is designed for
discriminating users who wish to gather, customize,
and listen to a broad range of information never
before available from a single source. Whether it’s
news, sports, weather, or lifestyle programming,
information is at your command at the press of a
button, once information is stored and updated.
Please glance at the following questions and answers
to familiarize yourself with the Command Audio
Service.
How are Programs Updated?
Your receiver is constantly updating and storing new
programs, even while you are listening to it. This
means that you don’t have to worry about missing
new programs while listening to other programs. The
information will be there when you are ready to
listen to it.
Different programs are updated according to
different schedules. Your Program Guide (located in
a pocket of the Quick Start Guide) will tell you when
new information is gathered for the programs that
you wish to listen to.
What If I Travel Out of Range
of the Signal?
The Command Audio Service is available in various
cities throughout the United States. If you travel out
of range of the Command Audio signal, (or if you set
the reception switch to “OFF,”) the receiver will stop
updating your programs. You will, however, be able
to play the existing programs from your receiver’s
memory. Once you return to any Command Audio
Service area, and it is getting power, your receiver
will be able to update your programs.
IMPORTANT: If you missed receiving a scheduled
update due to being out of signal range or loss of
power, you will not receive a new update until the
next scheduled time period. (For example if you
typically get an update every evening and missed this
evening’s update due to loss of signal or power, then
you will not get the next update until tomorrow
evening.)

Before You Begin
There are a few things you should know before you
plug in and enjoy your receiver.
•Your receiver is constantly updating and storing
new programs, even while you are listening to it.
This means that you don’t have to worry about
missing new programs while listening to other
programs. The information will be there when you
are ready to listen to it.
• The receiver is constantly recharging its batteries
when it is plugged into a wall outlet or car lighter.
Command Audio recommends to always use an AC/
DC power source. The batteries are provided as a
convenience, for those situations when an
alternative power source is not readily available.
We recommend using your batteries primarily as a
backup power source.
• When you are NOT listening to the receiver:
—always leave it plugged into a power source when
possible.
—always slide the switch to ON or STANDBY so that
the receiver can gather and store new programs. If
you switch the receiver to OFF, it will NOT receive
and update programs.
Your receiver is programmed at the factory with
various program examples, but in order to receive
continuous updates of programs, you must activate
your receiver with Command Audio.
Activating Your Receiver
Your receiver is pre-set at the factory to begin
capturing our most popular programs for a 24-hour
period from the first time you turn the power on. In
order to continue receiving updates of programs
after that 24-hour period, you must activate your
receiver with Command Audio.
To activate your receiver:
1.Dial the Toll-Free Activation phone number printed
on the sticker on your unit. 1.800.264.7289
2.Please have your receiver and credit card ready for
Listener Care.
Once you have activated, please peel off the sticker.

Connecting the Power
There are three ways to connect your receiver to
power.
• Using an AC power source
• Using a car’s lighter plug for DC power
• Using the batteries
Using an AC power source
To use the AC power adapter, plug the receiver into a
wall outlet:
1.Plug one end of the AC adapter into the receiver.
2.Plug the adapter into the wall outlet.
Using a car’s lighter plug
for DC power
To learn how to connect the power in your car, please
see page 23 in Chapter 5, “Using the Receiver in Your
Car.”
Using the batteries
Your receiver comes with four rechargeable Alkaline
batteries. You can also use standard batteries. The
rechargeable batteries will power your receiver for a
limited time (up to 2-6 hours) before requiring
recharging, depending on previous battery usage.
Standard batteries will last up to eight hours.
To install the batteries:
1.Remove the battery cover.
2.Put the batteries in, from left to right, making sure
that the (+) and (-) are the same as the diagram in
the compartment.
3.Slide the battery cover back on.
Note: The receiver will not work if the batteries are
incorrectly installed. Rechargable batteries can
take up to 7 hours to fully recharge.

Low BATTERY Indicator
When the batteries are low, the receiver will sound
an alert signal, and the low battery indicator (red)
light on the front panel will blink.
Note:
• We recommend using alkaline or rechargeable
batteries.
• Rechargeable batteries may result in shorter
playing time.
• Remove batteries if storing the receiver for a
month or more to avoid leakage.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner,
according to federal, state and local regulations.
• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a
different battery type; if inserted incorrectly; if all
batteries are not replaced at the same time; if
disposed of in a fire; or if an attempt is made to
charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately to avoid
possible skin burns or other personal injury.
Turning the Receiver ON
To turn the receiver on:
1.Slide the POWER switch on the right-hand side of
the receiver to ON.
2.Adjust the Volume control, located beneath the
Power switch.
3.Listen to the two minute greeting from Command
Audio.
When finished, please familiarize yourself with the
various controls and features explained in the next
chapter.

This chapter will help familiarize you with the
various controls. You will find that the controls
operate very much like a Compact Disc (CD) player
and other devices you may have used in the past. For
example, buttons such as NEXT, PREV (Previous), and
PLAY operate just like a CD.
Receiver Features and Functions
1.LCD Information Display

about your Command Audio receiver.
2.Power Switch

update a program that is paused or playing.
• Select the OFF position to turn the receiver

receiver cannot receive and store new program
updates when it is turned off.

selected from the Program Guide.
