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.

4. For ARIRC205 only: Connect the AR Wi-Fi Enabler to your network

If your modem or router/hub/switch has only one LAN

port and is connected to your PC, disconnect the

Ethernet cable from the modem/router/hub/switch and

connect it to the Enabler's LAN port.

LAN

Broadband modem or Ethernet router/hub/switch

Before you begin

To turn on the Wi-Fi Enabler:

The Enabler will turn on automatically when power is connected.

To check the AR Wi-Fi Enabler's status by reading the LEDs (Lights):

• Normally the POWER, WAN and WIRELESS LEDs will be on when the enabler is operating as a router.

• The LAN LED will be on if there is an Ethernet cable connected from the LAN port on the Enabler to a computer.

• The MODE LED will be off when the Enabler is operating as a Router.

• The MODE LED will be on when the Enabler is operating as an (AP) Access Point.

To rescan the network configuration:

• Your Wi-Fi Enabler comes preconfigured from the factory so normally no rescan should be necessary.

• Press and hold the WPS key for 3 seconds. The MODE LED then starts blinking. This will indicate to the user that the unit is scanning the network to determine the correct mode for the new environment (i.e. either router or AP).

• If during a scanning, the unit cannot determine the mode or needs more information (i.e. no response from the WAN connection, PPPOE, fixed IP address connection, etc) the unit will start flashing the MODE, WPS and WIRELESS LEDs.

To reset the Enabler:

• If you are unable to connect the radio to the Wi-Fi enabler, press and hold the RESET for 10 seconds to reset the Wi-Fi enable back to factory defaults. After resetting the Wi-Fi enabler, try connecting again.

Placement of Wi-Fi Enabler

The placement of the AR Wi-Fi Enabler and also interference can affect the radio and Wi-Fi Enablers operation; therefore choose placement wisely and try to reduce interference in the beginning will ensure a pleasant experience.

To choose Wi-Fi Enabler placement:

For best results, place your AR Wi-Fi Enabler:

• Near the center of the area in which your computer and radio will operate.

• In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected radio have line-of-sight access (even if through walls).

• Avoid obstacles to wireless signals.

• Keep wireless devices at least 2 feet (0.6m) from large metal fixtures such as file cabinets, refrigerators, pipes, metal ceilings, reinforced concrete, and metal partitions.

• Keep wireless devices away from large amounts of water such as fish tanks and water coolers.

To reduce interference:

• Avoid windows unless communicating between buildings.

• Place wireless devices away from various electromagnetic noise sources, especially those in the 2400 – 2500 MHZ frequency band. Common noise-creating sources are:

– 2.4 and 2.5GHz cordless phones, computers,

other wireless routers, access points and fax machines (no closer than 1 foot (0.3m)).

– Copying machines, elevators, and cell phones

(no closer than 6 feet (1.8m)).

– Microwave ovens (no closer than 10 feet

(3m)).
