Don’t forget if you have an iPhone , Touch, iPad or Android device you can download our free remote control apps from their respective sites.

A few notes on the apps:

• They are free and we upgrade them a 2-3 times a year.

• Your device must be on the exact same Wi-Fi network as our radio is or it won’t find the radio.

You will not be able to control our radio if your phone is only on your cellular 2/3/4g network. You have to be connected to the same home or office Wi-Fi network.

• The radio has to be powered on or in standby mode. If the power switch is turned off on the back the remote app won’t be able to find it because – it’s not on the Wi-Fi network if the power is completely turned off. 

• If you have more than one Grace Internet Radio you can change the name of the radio so you know which radio you are controlling when you turn the app on. Go to the radio’s main menu and select ‘settings’ then select ‘UPnP’ then ‘device name’. By default the name is ‘Grace Digital’ but you can change it to ‘Bedroom’, ‘Den’, ‘kitchen’ ...

APPENDIX

Using the USB Port as a USB-Ethernet Connection

Your radio is equipped with 801.11n Wi-Fi card for a wireless connection to your wireless router that is connected to your internet service. Your radio may also connect using the USB port with the use of the Grace Digital USB-Ethernet adaptor (separate USB-Ethernet adaptor purchase required) .

Once you have a Grace Digital USB-Ethernet adapter, remove the power from the radio then insert into the USB port, plug the radio back into the power. After the radio boots up please go to the main menu and select ‘settings’ then ‘Network Config’ then a new menu item will be displayed named ‘ Wired / wireless’. Select this menu and select ‘wired only’. Your radio will now connect to your Ethernet connection.

IMPORTANT

If you boot up (power on) the radio without a USB-Ethernet adaptor connected to the radio's USB socket, the radio will only recognize a USB thumb drive connected to the USB socket. If a USB-Ethernet adaptor is connected to the radio after the unit is booted up, the unit will NOT recognize the connection. To have the unit recognize the USB-Ethernet adaptor connection, the unit must then be rebooted (powered off and powered back on) while the adaptor connected to the USB port.

The radio will be able to access a USB thumb drive when the USB-Ethernet adaptor is removed and when a thumb drive is connected to the USB socket.
