Important battery precautions
• Any battery may present a risk of fire, explosion,
or chemical burn if abused. Do not try to charge
a battery that is not intended to be recharged,
do not incinerate, and do not puncture.
• Non-rechargeable batteries, such as alkaline
batteries, may leak if left in your product for a
long period of time. Remove the batteries from
the product if you are not going to use it for a
month or more.
• If your product uses more than one battery, do
not mix types and make sure they are inserted
correctly. Mixing types or inserting incorrectly
may cause them to leak.

immediately. They may cause skin burns or
other personal injury.
• Please help to protect the environment by
recycling or disposing of batteries according to
federal, state, and local regulations.
Precautions for the player
• Do not use the unit immediately after
transportation from a cold place to a warm
place; condensation problems may result.
• Avoid shock to the unit.
• Do not store the unit near fire, places with high
temperature or in direct sunlight. Exposure to
direct sunlight or extreme heat (such as inside a
parked car) may cause damage or malfunction.
• Do not expose to rain or moisture.
• Do not operate or store unit in places with
frequent static electricity or electrical noise (e.g.
speaker, TV set).
• Clean the unit with a soft cloth or a damp
chamois leather. Never use solvents.

Before you begin
2. Setup your RCA Infinite Radio accounts
To simplify setup on the radio please complete these steps:
1. Find the Setup Information Card that contains your radio’s MAC address number (MAC:
00-00-00-00-00-00) and activation PIN # (PIN: 0000). (This number is also found in the Device Info screen
under the Settings menu in your radio.)
2. Using any Internet-connected computer, go to www.rcainfiniteradio.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 RIR205 only: Connect the RCA 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.

• Make sure the power, WAN, and WIRELESS LEDs are on. The MODE LED state will vary depending on your
network configuration. If the MODE, WPS, and WIRELESS LEDs are blinking simultaneously, this indicates
a possible connection error. Please review your connections and then press and hold the Enabler’s WPS
button for 3 seconds (the MODE LED should start blinking) to rescan your network configuration. The
Enabler may restart multiple times during this process and take up to two minutes depending on your
network configuration. The MODE LED will stop blinking when this process is completed. Go to www.
