Before you begin

2. Setup your AR Infinite Radio accounts

To simplify setup on the radio please complete these steps: A. Find the Setup Information Card that contains your radio’s MAC address number (MAC: 00-21-2A-

XX-XX-XX) and activation PIN # (PIN: XXXX). (This number is also found in the Device Info screen under the Settings menu in your radio.)

B. Using any Internet-connected computer, go to www.arinfiniteradio.com/setup and follow the

online instructions.

• You will need to input your radio’s MAC address and PIN # to associate your radio with your personal settings.

3. Optional: Insert AAA batteries in the base of the radio

Follow the polarity markers in the battery compartment. The batteries power the clock and alarm* whenever the radio loses electricity. We recommend that you replace the batteries every year (or more often in case of multiple power outages) to avoid low battery power. Otherwise, clock and alarm accuracy may be affected when electricity supply is interrupted.

* When the battery backup functions, the clock display will not light. However, the function of alarm still occurs during the power interruption if remaining battery power is adequate.

Before you begin

4. Optional: For use with a "Wired" connection

Use the supplied Ethernet cable if you do not have a wireless (Wi-Fi) access point.

Before you begin

6. Set up the radio

Refer to Using the menus on page 15-16 for more information on making choices and inputting information in menus.

A. NOTE: When you turn on the radio for the

first time, it will be in "DEMO" mode. To exit this mode, press and release preset 1, then SLEEP/SNOOZE, then preset 6 on top of the radio.

B. After exiting the DEMO mode, the radio

SELECT.

C. The Network Setup screen displays

connection options:

• Select Wired to connect using an Ethernet cable. Go to step D to complete the

connection.

• Select Wireless to connect using an existing Wi-Fi access point. Go to step E to complete the connection.

D. Wi red

This method uses an Ethernet cable shown in step 4 on page 10 to wire the radio directly up to your broadband modem, router, hub, or switch. Make sure your Ethernet cable is properly connected.

• At the Network Setup screen, press select Wired and then press SELECT if your network does not provide Wi-fi access.

• Before the connection is complete, the radio may take some time to check for updates and retrieve account info from the server. Please wait until you hear a short congratulations message and "Setup is complete, enjoy the music" is displayed.

• If the radio requires your IP address, you can find this information on your broadband modem, router or access point’s administration setup page or manual.

E. Wireless

This method uses your existing Wi-Fi access point, broadband modem or router to connect the radio to your existing network.

You need to know your Wireless Network’s name (SSID) and if your wireless network has security enabled, you will also need to know your wireless networks password (sometimes called passphrase or key). You can find this information on your broadband modem, router or access point’s administration setup page or manual. You may also call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) if you do not know how to access the administration page in order to find this information. They usually have a 1-800 number available. Once you have the below information you may write it down for future reference.

or to

• Wireless network name (SSID)

• Security Type (Only needed if your network has security enabled and your SSID is hidden, not broadcasted)

• Password/Key (Only needed if your network has security enabled)

Before you begin

• At the Internet Setup screen, press or to select Wireless and then press SELECT. The Network Setup screen then shows with two setup options. Press option and then press SELECT.

• Detect Networks: to automatically scan for available networks and display a list of networks to choose from. Go to step F to complete the connection.

• Enter SSID: to manually enter your networks information. Select this option if your Networks SSID is hidden. Go to step G to complete the connection.

F. If Detect Networks is selected, the SSID

(network name) of those found will be displayed after searching. Press select a desired network and then press SELECT.

• Signal strength is indicated by .

• Secured network is indicated by (unsecured network has none, as Network 1 in the above example).

• If a secured network is selected, you will be required to enter your password in the Network Security screen. The radio should then connect to the Internet. Please wait until you hear a short congratulations message and the clock screen is displayed.

• If the network SSID is hidden (not broadcasted), you will only see a padlock icon and signal strength bars like the 4th network shown above. Press to highlight Enter SSID on the display and then press SELECT. Then go to step G to complete your connection.

• Interference may sometimes block your network from showing up in the list. If this happens, press to show Refresh List and then press SELECT to try again.

G. If Enter SSID is selected, the Network

Security screen will be displayed. Enter your SSID.

• If your network is secured (indicated by ), enter your password. The radio should then connect to the Internet. Please wait until you hear a short congratulations message and the clock screen is displayed.

About password:

• Do not get your Network Password confused with your Windows or Mac system logon password since they can be di erent.

• Some wireless access point or routers may call the Wireless Network Password a passphrase or key. These terms are the same.

About passphrase:

• This radio supports secured access points using the Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) keys or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) standards.

• WEP keys are either 10 or 26 characters long (characters: 0-9 and A-F) (e.g. 6E78214A52). Note that some Wi-Fi routers support passphrase generation for WEP security. However, there is no industry standard for WEP passphrase generation and this radio does not support WEP passphrases.

• If you are using a WEP secured access point, enter the WEP key (HEX format) instead of the passphrase.

Before you begin

After connecting to the Internet

• If you did not activate your Infinite Radio accounts, or if the radio cannot get your details from the Infinite Radio server, the radio may ask for your ZIP code.

• Input your ZIP code. The radio should then connect to Internet Radio.

• If your radio has successfully connected to the Internet you will hear a welcome message streaming from the Internet.

Demonstration mode

The radio has a pre-installed demonstration. To exit the demonstration, press and release in sequence the buttons on top of the radio: preset 1, then SLEEP/SNOOZE, then preset 6.

Getting the latest firmware and information
