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 protected (WEP or WPA), 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. On the front of the radio press the power switch to turn the radio “ON” (If the clock is on the display the radio is in standby mode). The main screen will display and within approximately 4 seconds will flash a series of messages. The messages that are briefly displayed will be ‘Grace Digital Audio’, ‘Starting…’ then ‘Scanning’.
NOTE: If your radio does not automatically start scanning when plugged into power the 1st time, please press the ‘Power’ button on the bottom right of the front of the radio to turn your radio on and to view the main radio menu. Press the ‘Home’ button located at the top middle of the front panel. This button can be easily identified by the symbol of a house. This button will always return you to the main menu.
Home screen with the ‘Settings’ icon highlighted
Turn the Menu knob on the front of the radio to right until the ‘Settings’ icon is highlighted. Now press the Menu knob inwards to select ‘settings’.
8
On the top of the next screen please select ‘Network Configuration’ by pressing the Menu knob. (To go back to previous menus at any time press the ‘Back’ button on the radio).
From the next screen please select ‘Scan for networks’ by pressing the Menu knob 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 ESSID’s) of one or more wireless networks that are within range.
9
Scroll the Menu knob to the left or right until the name of your network (ESSID) is highlighted. After you highlight your network, press the Menu knob dial inwards to select your network.
Note: If your radio does not display the name of your wireless network please make sure you are within range of your wireless network. If your network does not broadcast its ESSID you can enter it in manually in the ‘Enter network name’ section of the ‘Settings’ / ‘Network Configuration’ menu.
Step 3: If there is a private key needed for your wireless network the display will now briefly display ‘Enter WPA key’ and then the text entry screen shown below will appear.
Please enter your wireless network’s key using this screen and select ‘Enter’ at the bottom right of the screen. This ‘Key’ is the same key (password) you use to connect any wireless device (laptop, mobile phones, game console etc) to your Wi-Fi (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 Wi-Fi (wireless) 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. To enter in your password, scroll the Menu knob dial to the right or left until the 1st letter or number in your password is highlighted. Press the dial inward to select the 1st letter. Continue this process until the final letter or number is selected, then select ‘Enter’, which can be found at the bottom right of the screen.
10
Note: If you make a mistake at anytime, press the ‘Back’ button to erase the letter(s) or number(s) then select the correct entry.
Once you have selected ‘Enter’ the radio will display ‘connecting to ….’, followed by a series of messages. When the radio has successfully connected the main menu will be displayed. If the main menu is not displayed and instead you see the Clock please push in the power button to display the main menu.
Step 4: You are now connected to your Wi-Fi network and the internet. To listen to a station, choose the ‘Internet Radio’ icon on the main menu.
Home screen with the ‘Home’ icon highlighted
You can always return to the Home screen by pressing the ‘Home’ button located at the top middle of the front panel. This button can be easily identified by the symbol of a house.
Once you select ‘Internet Radio’ you will be presented with 6 options. Scroll down the screen to see the last two.
The radio will display various search methods: ‘Local’, ‘Search’ ‘Location’, ‘Genre’, ‘College Stations’ and ‘Weather’. Choose the option you desire and continue through the menu until you see a list of stations. Select the station by pressing the Menu knob inward when the station’s name is highlighted. After the station finishes buffering turn the volume up on the radio until you hear the music out of the built in speaker.
11
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.
An example of a popular internet radio station.
At any time, pressing the ‘Home’ button with the picture of the House located at the top middle of the front panel, will take you to the main menu. Similarly, the ‘Now Playing’ button, located just below the ‘Home’ button, will take you to a description of the current station or service. These two buttons should be extremely helpful to your navigation.
Press and hold any preset button whilst the station of your choice is playing to assign that station to the preset.

Steps to connect your radio to your Wireless Network
Getting Started
Step 1 - Power up the radio (use these instructions if the Quick Start guide at the beginning of this manual did not suffice).
To power your radio connect the AC Power on the back of your Grace Digital Mondo Radio to a wall power outlet. The radio can be switched between ‘on’ and standby with the power button on the radio.
Once powered on, the display on the front of the radio will light up and show the Grace Digital Audio splash screen followed by ‘Starting’, ‘Scanning’ and then A ‘Select network’ message with a list of the available wireless networks should appear underneath this heading.
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.
