Dialogue

Error/Information

When text is too long to ﬁt on the screen, it is ﬁrst shown truncated, then, after a few seconds, slowly scrolls so that you can read it all.

The Standby Screen shows the time, date and any active alarm times.

As you cycle through the play modes using Mode , the unit shows a Splash Screen for each mode. After one second, the unit enters the selected mode and tries to start playing the last station or track that was playing in that mode. If this is not possible, the unit tries to connect to the selected source by scanning for stations, networks, or prompting for user input as appropriate.

Now Playing Screens show information about the audio source and track now playing, where available.

Dialogue Screens are shown to allow the user to change settings. They vary in complexity from simple Yes/No options up to the scrollable network password input screen. As with menus, the selected item is shown with a white background. Dialogue screens mark the current setting with an asterisk (*).

Error/Information Screens give speciﬁc messages for a few seconds, then change automatically to another screen.

Menus

The System settings Menu allows access to system settings and information such as network, time, language and software update.

Menus with more options than will ﬁt on one screen have a scroll bar to the right.

The Main menu allows access to all modes plus sleep and timer functions.

Some menus, for example the System settings menu, have several submenus. A menu map of the unit is shown in Chapter 12 of this manual.

The unit has basically three types of menu. Use the Select control to step through and select options. A scroll bar on the right of the screen shows if there are further options above or below those visible. Each mode has a Mode Menu, with options speciﬁc to that mode. For example, the FM mode menu has just two options: Scan setting and Audio setting.

In addition, each mode menu has two ﬁnal options: System settings > and Main menu >. The ‘>’ indicates options leading to further menus.

3. Getting Started

3.1 Setup and Common Settings

To set up the unit:

1. Place the unit on a suitable shelf or table

2. Connect the power adaptor between the unit and the mains supply.

3. Attach the WiFi antenna

4. To receive broadcast radio (DAB and FM), attach the wire antenna.

The setup wizard will now start.

Setup Wizard

WELCOME

When the unit is started for the ﬁrst time, it runs through a setup wizard to conﬁgure settings for date/time and network. Once this has ﬁnished, the system is ready to use in most modes.

Note: To change these settings later, select Menu > System settings >. To run the setup wizard again, select Menu > System settings > Setup wizard.

Select Yes to start the setup wizard.

If you choose No, the next screen asks if you would like to run the wizard next time the unit is started. The system then starts without conﬁguring time/date and network settings and enters the Main Menu.

Note: If power is removed while the wizard is in progress, the wizard will run again next time when the unit is started.
