Introducing AXiS X3

AXiS X3 is the ultimate ‘connected’
digital radio device, uniquely combining
multi-format radio reception with iPod
and iPhone docking and wireless audio
streaming from your Bluetooth® device
or networked PC or Mac computer.

AXiS X3 is capable of receiving a full range
of digital radio standards including DAB,
DAB+, FM with RDS and internet radio. Next
generation multimedia services such as DAB
Slideshow and RadioVis are also supported.

This compact radio features a 3.5” colour
TFT display, and is controlled via an
icon-driven touchscreen user interface,
enabling quick and easy navigation
around the radio’s many advanced
features. AXiS X3 boasts award-winning
audio performance, courtesy of its 8W
Class-D amplifi er and patented Balanced
Radiator loudspeaker technology.

Completing the hardware picture,
AXiS X3 provides charging for a range
of USB devices including mobile
phones, tablets and accessories.

Thanks to Bluetooth® technology you can
wirelessly stream music to AXiS X3 from
your iPhone, Android, Blackberry or other
Bluetooth® device, such as a laptop or
tablet. No physical docking necessary.

AXiS X3 incorporates aptX® technology to
provide CD quality Bluetooth® streaming
where supported by your transmitting device.

Your Versatile Radio Hub

AXiS X3 is already very useful on its merits as a digital receiver and iPod/iPhone dock.
Connected to a wireless broadband network however, is where it really shines...

AXiS X3 will automatically seek out available wi-fi networks wherever you are. Even without a
computer, you can access the huge range of stations and podcasts available via internet radio.

By adding a computer or networked storage device to the mix, AXiS X3 can stream audio from any
PC or Mac, providing access to your music collection in any part of the home or work environment.

As a standalone device, AXiS X3 is an
accomplished DAB, DAB+ and FM
receiver, along with its functions as an
iPod docking station and alarm clock.

Connected to a wireless broadband
network, AXiS X3 can receive
thousands of internet radio stations and
podcasts from around the globe.

On the same wireless network as your
computer, AXiS X3 can also act as a remote
streaming device for your music collection.
You can also use the Frontier Silicon internet
radio portal from your computer to tailor
the content received by your AXiS X3.

Guiding Principles

One of AXiS X3’s defi ning features
is its 3.5 inch colour touchscreen,
which puts you in direct contact
with the radio’s many functions.

AXiS X3’s controls are very intuitive, so
should require little explanation. The
graphical representation of features and
the ability to directly touch words and
buttons to activate them should feel
natural after just a few minutes of use.

To get you started, the following two
pages aim to offer a summary of what you
can expect to see in the different areas
of your AXiS X3’s screen and provide an
outline of how to fi nd your way around.

Home Screen

Your fi rst point of contact with AXiS X3’s
interface is the home screen. We think
the various modes will be fairly self­explanatory and easy to fi nd but here we
offer a short description of the function
of each of the homepage icons.

Gently press and release an icon
to access the relevant mode.

Internet Radio

Internet Radio mode allows you to access
tens of thousands of online radio stations
and podcasts from around the World. As
long as you have a broadband internet
connection, you don’t even need a computer
to use this mode. Details on page 11.

DAB / DAB+ Radio

As well as high-sensitivity DAB reception,
AXiS X3 is future-proofed to provide
coverage of DAB+ broadcasts when
available. See page 15 for full details.

16.20pm 31 Jul 2013

FM Radio

AXiS X3 is loaded with cutting-edge
features but it also includes the ability
to receive FM broadcasts, including
RDS data. Very handy if you take your
radio outside a DAB reception area
or Wi-Fi network. See page 23.

iPod mode

AXiS X3 provides docking, charging,
control and playback for lighting
connector equipped iPods and iPhones.
See page 18 for further information.

across your network from PC or Mac. This
turns AXiS X3 into a multi-room system for
your existing music collection. See page 20.

Bluetooth

Wirelessly stream music from your
Bluetooth smartphone, tablet, laptop or
other Bluetooth enabled device, directly
to AXiS X3, without the need for physical
docking or connection. See page 20.

AXiS X3’s alarms allow you to wake up to
any of the audio modes or a buzzer. Alarms
are fully confi gurable to specify dates,
recurrence, volume etc. See page 24.

Auxiliary Input

Via a standard 3.5mm audio cable,
you can use AXiS X3 to play back
audio from any external source you
choose. See page 25 for details.

The Settings menu provides you with
controls to tailor the setup of your AXiS X3.
Network settings, sound EQ levels, software
updates and timing preferences can be
controlled from here. See page 26 for details.

Second–Level
Navigation

After you’ve clicked an option on the home
screen to enter one of the modes, the
layout of the screen will change slightly.

While each mode looks unique to a certain
extent, depending on the information to
be displayed, there are several features
in common throughout the system.

Home – click to return to the main
menu screen while maintaining
audio playback of current mode

Contextual Menu – click to view and
confi gure user options for current mode.

If you press the ‘Home’ button,
the current mode will continue to
play until you select an alternative
audio source. This means you can
adjust AXiS X3’s alarm settings or
change your system confi guration
without interrupting your listening.

If you press the Home button,
you’ll notice that a “Back” button
appears in the lower right hand
corner of the main menu screen.
Pressing this will take you back
to the currently playing mode.

Rescanning DAB Stations

From time to time, it may be necessary
to perform a manual scan to keep your
AXiS X3’s station list up-to-date. A couple
of reasons may account for this...

• New station launches or existing
stations which cease broadcasting.

• If the initial scan gave poor reception
(for example, if the aerial was not properly
extended or AXiS X3 was placed in a
bad reception area), the default station
list may be incomplete or even empty.

To begin a manual scan, in DAB mode, press
the Menu button. Select Scan from the list.
When the scan is fi nished, your updated
station-list will be saved into AXiS X3’s memory.

Dynamic Range Control

DRC can improve audio performance if you
are listening to music with a high dynamic
range in a noisy environment (e.g. listening to
classical music while cooking in the kitchen).

DRC boosts quieter sounds, making
them easier to hear, without over­amplifying the louder sections of music.

AXiS X3 has 3 DRC settings: OFF, Low
and High. Default setting is Low. To alter
this setting, click the Menu button in
DAB mode. Select DRC from the list,
then click your preferred setting.

Note: Not all DAB broadcasts are able to use
DRC. If the broadcast does not support DRC,
then changing the setting will have no effect.

AXiS X3 provides support for DAB
Slideshow, an innovative new feature
that signifi cantly enhances the digital
radio experience. DAB Slideshow
enables detailed full colour images to
be broadcast alongside standard digital
audio transmissions, providing a colourful
and informative backdrop to DAB radio
broadcasts. Slideshow content includes
a wide variety of information screens
and images, including ‘Now Playing’
screens, news headlines, sports reports,
weather information and traffi c updates.

At the time of writing, DAB Slideshow
content is being broadcast by a growing
number of radio stations in the UK,
Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark,
France, Australia and Hong Kong.

If DAB Slideshow content is available
on your chosen station, AXiS X3 will
automatically display the slideshow image
at full screen size. To revert to the standard
DAB Mode screen, simply press AXiS X3’s
touchscreen. To re-enter full-screen DAB
Slideshow mode at any time, press the small
slideshow graphic on the left of the screen.

NOTE: The availability of DAB
Slideshow content is at the discretion
of broadcaster. Not all stations
currently operate this feature.

device with AXiS X3

Select the Bluetooth icon from the Home
Screen and AXiS X3 will enter pairing mode.

16.20pm 31 Jul 2013

Bluetooth devices may prompt you to
enter a Passkey. Should your device
require a Passkey, enter 0000.

Should you experience problems
when pairing your device with
AXiS X3, please see the Bluetooth
Troubleshooting section on page 32.

Streaming Music

Selecting and controlling music playback
can be done in one of two ways, either
directly from the source device (smartphone,
tablet or laptop), or from AXiS X3’s

device, on entering Bluetooth mode,
AXiS X3 will automatically seek
to connect with this device.

Should you wish to pair another device,
repeat the pairimg procedure. Firstly
ensuring that any other paired devices have
Bluetooth functionality temporarily disabled

- otherwise AXiS X3 will attempt to fi nd and
connect with a previously paired device.

Network Audio Mode

AXiS X3’s network music player mode is
accessed by selecting “Network Audio”
from the Home menu. The mode utilises
the Universal Plug and Play (“UPnP”)
protocol to let you browse and play audio
fi les wirelessly across your network from
PC or Mac computers. Once you’ve set
up your computer for sharing, AXiS X3
can remotely navigate through your digital
music collection by categories such as
Artist Name, Album Title or Musical Genre.

In order for AXiS X3 to play your audio

fi les from computer, the computer must
fi rst be confi gured for media sharing.

Recommended system requirements for
straightforward setup of your computer are:

• Windows PC using Windows Media
Player (WMP) version 11 or later.

or

• Apple Mac running OS X or later
with a UPnP application installed
to access an iTunes library.

For information about setting up your
computer to share music with AXiS X3,

Network Audio: Setting Up

Streaming from Windows PC
using Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player (version 11 or newer) is the most popular UPnP
server client. There are alternative UPnP platforms which can be used, but
this description deals with the process of confi guring your WMP system.

First, ensure that your PC and AXiS X3 are both connected to the same network.

In WMP, add the audio fi les and folders you want to share with your

1

AXiS X3 to the Media Library. Select “Library”, then “Add to Library”.

To ensure that AXiS X3 will be able to gain access to your shared

2

media, turn Media Sharing on. Select AXiS X3 and click “Allow”
as pictured. Your PC is now ready to stream music to AXiS X3.

The WMP UPnP service runs in the background, so you don’t actually need
to have the WMP software running to access your fi les from AXiS X3.

Streaming from an Apple Mac

To connect AXiS X3 to your Apple Mac computer, a third–
party UPnP server application is required.

English

There are a number of these apps available for download
online. One of the most common and easy-to-use is called
EyeConnect. This is available from: www.elgato.com

Once you’ve downloaded and installed EyeConnect to your MAC, open up
your System Preferences control panel and under “Other”, select EyeConnect.

Ensure that AXiS X3 is connected to the same network as your Mac –
AXiS X3 will appear on your EyeConnect devices list as pictured, right.

Make sure the “Enable” box next to AXiS X3 is ticked and that the
“Access” drop down menu is set to “Enable New Devices”.

Your MAC is now ready to stream to AXiS X3. EyeConnect
runs discreetly in the background, so there’s no need to open
the control panel each time you wish to stream.

touchscreen may prove to be a distraction,
even when the radio is in standby mode.
To avoid this situation, we have provided
the option to switch off the touchscreen
backlight when in standby mode.

Standby Backlight

When this feature is activated, the AXiS X3
display will switch off after a pre-defi ned
period of time. The display can be easily
re-activated by simply moving the volume
dial in either direction, allowing you to

check the time or alarm status. The display
will then ‘go to sleep’ again after the
pre-defi ned timeout period has elapsed.

To activate this feature, select “Miscellaneous

touchscreen backlight in any other mode.

Disable Non-iTunes Meta Data

When this menu option is set to ON, AXiS X3
will not display any track information when

Software Update

From time to time, software updates
will become available for your AXiS X3.
Some of these will be for maintenance,
but some will also add new features to
the AXiS X3 system. These updates will
download via your network connection.

If you have the Software Update option
enabled, AXiS X3 will automatically
check for new software every time it
connects to the internet. If an update is
available, it will ask for your confi rmation
before commencing download.

Software updates will allow all your user
settings to be maintained, although will
take a few moments to download and
require a restart of your AXiS X3.

Please note: Before carrying
out any software update, ensure
that your AXiS X3 is connected
to a stable power supply.

Disconnecting the power during a
critical phase of an update could result
in permanent damage to your AXiS X3.

Check for Updates

If you don’t want AXiS X3 to automatically
check for new software, you can still
check for updates on-demand by clicking
on Check for Updates. This will use your
internet connection to access the latest
version and tell you whether or not your AXiS
X3 is up-to-date. If there is new software
available, you will be asked to confi rm
whether you wish to proceed to download.

Software Version

Simply displays your AXiS X3’s current
software installation version. This will be
potentially useful if you need to seek technical
support with some aspect of your AXiS X3.

Factory Reset

This option resets AXiS X3 to its default
factory values, erasing any personal
settings which may have been confi gured,
such as Time & Date, Network Profi les
and Favourite Station Presets.

Your AXiS X3’s current software version will
