To obtain a device providing useful character information to a visitor without making the visitor feel a waiting time so long and suitable for installing the device indoors by outputting a character information signal with a control circuit based on the character information data in a loaded memory card and outputting the character information signal of an FM multiplex broadcast electric wave based on a data signal demodulated with a receiving part when the memory card is pulled out.

A loading detection part 31 detects jumper connection in a memory card 21 to discriminate whether or not the memory card 21 is loaded on a socket 2. When the memory card is loaded, a control circuit 3 collates the not information and the display pattern information of character information data 210 stored in the memory card 21 with the front data and the display pattern data stored in a storage part 32 to output a character information signal 30. Further, when the memory card isn't loaded, the control circuit 3 collates the font information of a data signal 118 demodulated by a receiving part 1 with the font data stored in the storage part 32 to output the character information signal 30.
