QUICKSTART GUIDE - 1st time set up

What you need before you can use your Internet Radio:

A broadband internet connection is required. A wireless (Wi-Fi) modem or router connected to your broadband (cable or DSL) internet.

NOTE: IF your wireless (Wi-Fi) network is password (WEP or WPA) protected, please obtain your password before proceeding to Step 1. All passwords are UPPER and lower case sensitive.

Step 1: Plug the round jack from the power cord into the back of the radio and the other end into a wall outlet. The display should turn on within approximately 4 seconds and flash a series of messages. The messages that are briefly displayed will be ‘Grace Digital Radio’, ‘Starting…’ then ‘Scanning’.

NOTE: If your radio does not automatically start scanning when plugged into power the 1st time, please press the power button to turn your radio on and to view the main Internet radio menu. Scroll the large dial to the left or right until the word ‘settings’ is in brackets {}. Press the large dial inwards to select ‘settings’. On the top of the next screen please select ‘Network Configurations’ by pressing the large dial inwards. (To go back to previous menus at any time press the ‘back’ button on the radio). On the top of the next screen please select ‘Scan for Networks’ by pressing the large dial inwards.

Step 2: The radio is now scanning for available Wi-Fi (wireless) network(s) in your area. After the scanning process is complete, the radio will display the names (also referred to as SSID’s) of one or more wireless networks that are within range. Scroll the large ‘Select/Menu’ dial to the left or right until the name of your network (SSID) is highlighted by placing the name of the router between the brackets {}, for example {your wireless network}. Once your router is highlighted, push the large Select dial inwards to select your network.

NOTE: If your radio does not display the name of your wireless network (SSID) please make sure that your router is transmitting in 802.11b/g mode. Additionally, please make sure you are within range of your wireless network.

Step 3: The display will now prompt you to enter in your network’s key. This ‘Key’ is the same key (password) you use to connect a wireless device (laptop, mobile phones, game console etc) to your WiFi (wireless) network. This key or password is also sometimes called a ‘WEP’ or ‘WPA’ password or ‘code’. If you do not know your password, please contact the person or company that set up your network to obtain your password.

NOTE: All passwords are upper and lower case sensitive. Thus letters must be entered correctly using upper or lower case as was used to set the password originally. Numbers are not case sensitive. To enter in your password, scroll the large ‘Select’ dial to the right or left until the 1

letter or number in

your password is located in the center of the radio’s display. Press the large dial inward to select the 1

letter. Continue this process until the final letter or number is selected.

NOTE: If you make a mistake at anytime, press the ‘back’ button to erase the letter(s) or number(s) and select then select the correct entry. After the final letter or number in your password is selected rotate

the large dial until the word ‘END’ is in the center of your display. The word ‘END’ is located in front of the beginning of the alphabet. Choose ‘END’ by pressing the large dial inward. The radio will display ‘connecting to ….’, followed by a series of messages. When the radio has successfully connected the main menu will be displayed.

Step 4: You are now connected to your Wi-Fi network and the internet. To listen to a station, choose ‘Internet Radio’ on the main menu. The radio will then request the most recent radio station update and display ‘Station update from Reciva’. When the station update is complete the radio will display various search methods: ‘location’, ‘genre’, and ‘search’ etc. Choose the method you desire and continue through the menu until you see a list of stations. Select the station by pushing the large select dial inward when the brackets are on both sides of the station’s name. After the station finishes buffering turn the volume up on the radio until you hear the music out of the built in speaker.

If you are unable to listen to the station you selected please try other stations (pressing the back button will take you to the previous menu to choose another station). Some stations may not currently be online. IF you are unable to access or listen to any station you select please see the trouble shooting section in this manual.

NOTE: you do NOT need to register your radio to listen to our over 16,000 free radio stations. However, if you would like to register your radio to experience premium music selections please refer to the “Registering your radio / creating an account at HYPERLINK "http://www.grace.reciva.com" www.grace.reciva.com

Steps to Connect Your Radio to Your Wireless Network

Getting Started

Step 1 - Power up the radio

(Power Adapter, NiMH & LED Indicator)

You can power your radio by connecting to the AC Power on the back of your ALLEGRO or using 6 x AA 6 x AA NiMH (rechargeable) batteries. The radio can be switched on and off with the STANDBY/ON button. The adapter can be used while rechargeable NiMH batteries are installed. IF you choose to use Rechargeable NiMH batteries to power your ALLEGRO the built-in recharging circuit will charge the batteries when the AC power adapter is plugged in.

WARNING: Installing non-rechargeable (alkaline) batteries or connecting a power supply with a

different rating may cause permanent damage to the ALLEGRO and may be hazardous to the User. THERFORE, for best operation, your safety & to protect your Allegro from damage:

1. Install 6 new AA NiMH (rechargeable) batteries with the same capacity ONLY

(not included)

2. Do NOT mix NiMH batteries that may have different capacities

3. Do NOT

mix old and new OR charged and empty/partially charged NiMH batteries

4. Do NOT

install Alkaline (disposable) batteries in your Allegro

5. Remove batteries from your Allegro when not in use for extended periods

6. Use only the power adapter supplied with your Allegro

LED Indicator & Power Status

On the back panel of your radio you will find an LED Indicator. The LED indicates the power status by changing color (Green or Red) and state (flashing or lights steady) depending if rechargeable NiMH, No batteries and/or AC adapter are in use. Refer to the following chart for details:

INDICATOR STATUS

Flashes RED

Alkaline batteries installed in error

Lights GREEN

NiMH batteries fully-charged

Lights RED

NiMH batteries charging in process

Flashes GREEN

No batteries installed

*Install new AA NiMH (rechargable) batteries ONLY

Once powered on, the display on the front of the radio will light up and show:

Grace Digital Radio

After a few seconds, the screen will change to show :

Initializing

Network

After a few seconds, the screen will change to show:

Scan for networks

Enter network

View Config

Edit Config

Step 2 - Scan for a wireless network connection

When the display show <Scan for networks>, press the ‘Select’ button. (NOTE: IF you make an error at any point, press the ‘Back’ button to return the previous screen)

The ALLEGRO will now scan for all available wireless networks and will display:

Scanning

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

IF the radio does not find a wireless network router, the display will show:

No networks

Found

If this happens after subsequent attempts you should setup your wireless access point working - see the instructions supplied with your wireless network.

When ALLEGRO finds your wireless network, the display will show ESS-ID for the access point on the screen - this name is the name ascribed 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 your radio to see the ESS-ID for each access point your radio has found.

For optimal performance you may want to check your home network settings to make sure your radio is on a deferent channel than your neighbors. To do this please consult your Wi-Fi router owner’s manual

Step 3 - Connect to the wireless network

When the ESS-ID for the access point you want to connect to is displayed on the screen, press OK.

IF your network is not configured to require an encryption code, the screen should display:

Connecting to

Network

then:

Network OK

IF the screen displays either WEP or WPA, a password is required:

Enter WEP key

Enter WPA key

Then the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2). You therefore need to enter the correct WEP or WPA password on your ALLEGRO radio to communicate with your network.

Only the person who set up the network in the first place knows this password; if that person is not you then you need to find out the password. You can do this by checking with the Customer Service of your internet provider or the manufacturer of your wireless router.

After approximately 3 seconds, the display goes into the password entry mode:

█

To enter the password, use the SCROLL KNOB or the UP/DOWN buttons to select each letter/number/symbol of the password in turn, pressing OK after each letter.

NOTE: WEP and WPA passwords are upper and lower case sensitive and MUST be entered exactly

HINT: Use the ’Back’ button to erase incorrect characters as you may have entered. IF the display shows: “Invalid key” or “Network Error”, an incorrect password has probably been entered.

After entering the final letter/number/symbol, scroll to find and select END and press OK.

Once the password is entered correctly, your ALLEGRO should now be able to connect to the network.

Your radio should now be able to connect to the selected network without having to re-enter a password. Your password will be saved in your Grace radio even if a power outage occurs. You will have to alter your password however, should you attempt to connect to an alternative wireless network

NOTE: IF you would like to give your radio a static IP address then please see the ‘Network config’ section under the ‘Setting’ section.

Troubleshooting

Please read the User’s Guide carefully to ensure proper use of your system and to enjoy your Allegro’s basic and advanced features.

Please keep this User’s Guide for future reference. If you experience any trouble with your wireless internet radio ALLEGRO, then you may find it useful to visit the help section on our webpage: http://grace.reciva.com/ , or http://www.reciva.com

If you have trouble connecting ALLEGRO to your wireless network, these steps may help to resolve the problem:

1. Confirm a WiFi connected PC can access and browse the internet (web) using the same network.

2. Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP address on ALLEGRO.

You can configure a static IP address on ALLEGRO using the menu item ‘Setting - Network Config Edit Config’, and then select ‘No’ for ‘Auto (DHCP)’.

3. Check that your network’s firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum, ALLEGRO

needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80, 554, 1755, 5000, 6000 and 7070.

4. Check your access point does not restrict connections to particular MAC addresses. You can view

ALLEGRO’s MAC address using the menu item ‘Setting - Network Config - View Config - MAC address’.

5. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct key or pass phrase into

ALLEGRO. Remember that text-format keys are case sensitive. If, when attempting to connect to an encrypted network, your radio displays: ‘Wireless error’ followed by a 5-digit number, then please ensure that you enter the correct pass phrase for the network. If the problem persists, then you may need to consult your network configuration.

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 location may be 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 ALLEGRO 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://grace.reciva.com/ , or contact us at http://www.gracesupport.com/ to notify us so that we can change the station data that may be accessed by your ALLEGRO at a future date.
