The easiest way to connect to a wireless network is to have the Mondo+ scan for wireless networks, and then choose your wireless network from the list of wireless networks. The Mondo+ will automatically display the strongest Wi-Fi network at the top of the list.

Registering Your Radio To Our Web Portal (Optional)
The radio works perfectly without registering your radio. However, registering your radio allows a few extra features. It allows you to search our internet radio station database online as well as the audiosear.ch podcast database via your computer’s web browser and save your favorite internet radio station and podcast show instantly to your internet radio (this is much easier than searching on the radio itself!). Additionally, our Web Portal allows you to add your favorite radio station or podcast directly to your radio if we don’t already have it in our database.
1. Go to www.myradiosplus.gracedigital.com and click Registration to create an account.
2. In the menu on the left hand of the browser select Radios.
3. In the upper left hand corner select Add New.
4. Enter your radio’s serial number.
NOTE: The serial number required to register your radio is not the serial number on the bottom of the radio. To nd your internal serial number please go to your radio’s home menu and select Radio Settings then select Radio Info. On the radio info screen you will see ‘---serial number---’. The serial number will start with ‘gdi’.
Please enter the entire serial number into the web portal including ‘gdi’ in the serial area then select Save.
Now you can directly save stations on the web site and add stations and podcast directly into the My Stuff folder on your radio.
The My Stuff folder can be found after you click on the Internet radio station icon on your home screen.
To save a Station: On the left hand side of the web portal select Favorites, then select Search and Save a Station. Then enter in the call sign for the station you want to search for (or just
search for a genre or station by location) and when you nd a station you want to save to
your radio select Add to Favorites on the right hand side of the resulting station listing(s).
To save a Podcast: On the left hand side of the web portal select Favorites, then select Search and Save a Podcast. Then enter in the podcast name for the podcast you want to
search for (or just search for it by the network name or Category) and when you nd the
podcast you want to save to your radio select Add to Favorites on the right hand side of the resulting station listing(s).
To add a favorite Podcast or Stream that we don't have in our databases, select Add a Podcast or Add a Stream in the Favorites menu on the web portal and add the source audio URL. If you do not know the source URL (not just the station URL but the actually URL used to stream music) please contact the podcast or station owner directly.
