SAFETY WARNINGS
Please read before installation.
If this Internet radio has been moved from a cold place to a warm place, DO NOT plug it in for 2-3 hours (e.g. from a cold car boot to a warm room). There is a possibility that moisture may have con­densed in the Internet radio, this can cause damage to your Internet radio. To avoid damage please unpack your Internet radio and allow it to stand at room temperature for 2-3 hours before use. This will help any moisture evaporate and prevent unnecessary damage to your Internet radio.
DO ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.
COVERS - Do not remove any fixed covers as this may expose dangerous voltages.
WEATHER - It is advisable to unplug an external aerial during a thunderstorm.
VENTILATION - The ventilation holes on the casing of your Internet radio prevent it from over heat-
ing. Do not block or cover these holes, especially with cloth or paper. Do allow a minimum distance of 5cm around the apparatus for sufficient ventilation.
DAMAGE - Never use your Internet radio if it is damaged in any way. Always place your Internet radio on a flat level surface avoiding anywhere which may be subject to strong vibration.
TEMPERATURE - Avoid extremes of temperature, either hot or cold, place your Internet radio well away from heat sources such as radiators or gas/electric fires.
DO NOT use this apparatus in tropical climates.
MOISTURE - Do not allow your Internet radio to be exposed to rain, moisture or dust. If any liquid
is spilt into your Internet radio it can cause serious damage. If you spill any liquid into your Internet radio switch it off at the mains immediately. Contact your store immediately.
CAUTION –Do not open any covers and do not repair yourself. Qualified personnel must carry out repair work.

STEPS FOR CONNECTING YOUR RADIO TO YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK
Step 1 - Power up the radio
First, connect to the AC Power. In use, the radio can be switched on or off with the STANDBY/ON button.
The display on the front of the radio will light up and say:
Reciva Radio
ARM Powered
After a few seconds, this will change to show:
Initializing
Network
After a few seconds, this will change to show:
< Scan for networks >
Enter network
View Cong Edit Cong
Step 2 - Scan for a wireless network connection
When the display says < Scan for networks >, press the SELECT button. (Note: if you make a mistake at any point, press the BACK button to go back to the previous screen.)
The radio will now scan for all available wireless networks and will display:
Scanning
8
grace wireless internet radio
STEPS FOR CONNECTING YOUR RADIO TO YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK (continued)
If it can’t find one then the display will say:
No networks
Found
If this happens then you will have to get your wireless access point working - see the instructions supplied with it.
When the radio finds your wireless network, it displays the ESSID for the access point on the screen - this is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the network - for example:
< My Home Network >
It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will find more than one wireless access point, in which case you can choose which one you want to connect to. Turn the knob on the radio to see the ESSID for each access point the radio has found.
Step 3 - Connect to the wireless network
When the ESSID for the access point you want to connect to is displayed on the screen, press the SELECT button.
If your network is not configured to need an encryption code, the screen should say:
Connecting to
network
grace wireless internet radio
9
STEPS FOR CONNECTING YOUR RADIO TO YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK (continued)
Then:
Network OK
If the screen displays either:
Enter WEP key
Or:
Enter WPA key
Then the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You therefore need to enter the correct WEP or WPA code into the radio to get it to communicate with your network.
Only the person who set up the network in the first place knows this code; if that person is not you then you need to find out what it is.
After 3 seconds, the display goes into the code entry mode. To enter the code, use the knob to select each character of the code in turn, pressing the SELECT button after each character. Note that WEP and WPA codes are sensitive to upper and lower case characters so you must enter them exactly.
Use the BACK button to erase incorrect characters.
After the final character, use the knob to select the END character and press the SELECT button.
The radio should now be able to connect to the network.
If the display shows “Invalid key” or “Network Error”, an incorrect password has probably been entered.

3. Right click on the folder.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience any trouble with your wireless Internet radio, then you may find it useful to visit the help section on: webpage: http://radio.reciva.com/
If you have trouble connecting the radio to your wireless network, these steps may help to resolve the problem:
1. Confirm that a Wi-Fi connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web)
using the same network.
2. Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP address
on the radio. To configure the DHCP, you must read the instructions supplied with the wireless access point.
3. Check that your firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum the radio
needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80, 554, 1755, 5000 and 7070. To configure the Access Port Control, you must read the instructions supplied with the wireless access point.
4. Check your access point does not restrict connections to particular MAC addresses. You
can view the radio’s MAC address using the menu item Configure > Network Config > View Config > MAC address.
5. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct key or
passphrase into the radio. Remember that text-format keys are case sensitive.
If your radio can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to play particular stations, it may be due to one of the following causes:
1. The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it may be located in a
different time zone).
2. The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.
3. The station is not broadcasting anymore.
4. The link on the radio is out of date.
5. The Internet connection between the server (often located in a different country) and you
is slow.
Try using a PC to play back the stream via the broadcaster’s web site.
If you can play back the station with a PC, use the form at: http://www.reciva.com/stations/add_station.asp to notify us so that we can change the station data that is used by the radio.
