Before you begin

Dear RCA customer,

Thank you for purchasing the RCA Wi-Fi Internet Radio. This product will let you listen to Slacker™ Radio, Internet Radio, AM/FM tuner, weather forecast and music stored in the internal memory or a USB device.

To start using your Wi-Fi Internet Radio, please follow the setup instructions in the following pages.

1. Unpack the unit

You should find the following items in the box:

Radio

Quick Start

Guide

For RIR205 only:

Wi-Fi Enabler

Additional requirements

• Broadband Internet service

• Broadband (cable/DSL) modem, usually supplied by your Internet service provider

• An 802.11 b or g (Wi-Fi) wireless home network or Ethernet router/switch/hub with available LAN port

For Wi-Fi connections, you may also need:

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.

LAN

Broadband modem or

LAN

Ethernet router/hub/switch

• 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.

• 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.

5. 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.

• 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)

At the Network Setup screen, press

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.

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. The radio should then connect to Internet Radio.

To turn on the Wi-Fi Enabler:

The Enabler will turn on automatically when power is connected.

To check the RCA 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.

Before you begin

Placement of Wi-Fi Enabler

The placement of the RCA 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 RCA 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 lineof-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)).

The LED of ON/STANDBY button is flashing.

• The LED is flashing (5-second interval) when the unit is being powered by the backup batteries due to electricity supply interruption. Please check your AC power supply.

• If the LED is flashing even faster (3-second interval), this means that the unit is being powered by weak backup batteries. Please replace the backup batteries (refer to page 9). 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.

Cannot stop the demonstration mode.
