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 1st 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 st 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 fro nt 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’ section of this manual. You can only register your radio and create an account if you radio is successfully connected to your Wi-Fi network and internet connection.

FAST PLAY OF RADIO STATIONS

As a factory default setting when you turn your radio off (in standby mode – only the clock is showing on the display) your radio will be disconnected from your wireless network. Each time you turn your radio on, the radio will reconnect to your network before buffering and connecting to a station to play.
