INTRODUCTION INTERNET RADIO QUICK START GUIDE What you need before you can use your Internet radio Before you can use your Internet radio, you need the following: • • A broadband Internet connection. A wireless access point (Wi-Fi) connected to your broadband Internet, preferably via a router.
Control IR/FM Internet Radio mode Media Player mode Press to switch between Internet Radio and FM mode.
Please read this before installation. If this Internet radio has been moved from a cold place to a warm place, DO NOT plug it in for 2-3 hours (e.g. from a cold car boot to a warm room). There is a possibility that moisture may have condensed in the Internet radio, which can cause damage to your Internet radio. To avoid damage please unpack your Internet radio and allow it to stand at room temperature for 2-3 hours before use.
GETTING STARTED – INTERNET RADIO Steps for connecting your radio to your wireless network Step 1 - Power up the radio First, connect to the AC Power. In use, the radio can be switched on or off with the standby button.
When the radio finds your wireless network, it displays the ESSID for the access point on the screen - this is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the network - for example: < My Home Network > It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will find more than one wireless access point, in which case you can choose which one you want to connect to. Press the < or > button on the radio to see the ESSID for each access point the radio has found.
Only the person who set up the network in the first place knows this code; if that person is not you then you need to find out what it is. After 3 seconds, the display goes into the code entry mode. To enter the code, use the < and > button to select each character of the code in turn, pressing the SELECT button after each character. Note that WEP and WPA codes are sensitive to upper and lower case characters so you must enter them exactly.
