Before you can use this product Introduction

Before you can use your radio, you must have the following:

● A broadband Internet connection (not required for DAB, FM or Music

Player functions).

● A wireless access point (WiFi) or a wired Ethernet connection connected

to your broadband Internet Service Provider, preferably via a router.

In many cases the broadband modem, router and wireless access

point will be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service

Provider or bought from a computer store.

● If your wireless network is congured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy

(WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) data encryption then

you either need to know the WEP, WPA or WPA2 key used for encryption

so you can get the radio to communicate with the network, or your

router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).

If connecting using WiFi, the radio will typically work within a 10-20 meter

radius from your wireless access point. The actual range achieved will

depend upon the building type, other nearby wireless networks, and

possible interference sources. DAB and FM radio functions can operate

wherever the radio is able to receive a suitable broadcast signal.

IMPORTANT:

Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access point or router

is powered up and working with your broadband Internet service (use your

computer to verify this). To get this part of the system working you must

read the instructions supplied with the wireless access point or router.

Using the touch screen

The WFR-2D internet radio has a high resolution color display with touch sensitive controls.

When using the internet radio, the display shows only the controls that are needed at each stage

of its operation. To operate the controls simply touch the button area with the tip of a nger for

about half a second until the command has been accepted.

You may find that at first, the internet radio does not always detect that you have touched a

button. If so, try touching with a little more pressure, or for slightly longer. You will soon nd the

optimum touch needed to control your internet radio.

The panel may be cleaned using a dry cloth. Do not use abrasives, cleaning uids or solvents.

This section describes the basic means of controlling your WFR-2D internet radio. Instructions for

each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.

1. Pressing the On/Standby control brings your radio out of Standby mode. Pressing the On/Standby

control while the radio is in use will cause it to return to the Standby mode with the clock display.

2. Touching the Mode buttons on the Home menu screen gives you access to each of the operating

modes: DAB radio, FM radio, Internet radio, iPod, My Music, Auxiliary Input, Alarms and Settings.

3. Touch the Menu bar on screen to access a high level menu for the current operating mode.

Touching the bar a second time will normally cause the radio to revert to the previous display

or menu.

4. Touch the Home button to return to the main home menu.

5. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. This is done by touching

the relevant item on the touch screen. If there are more than four items in a menu, then you

will need to touch the Up or Down arrows so that the additional items become visible. The sliding

scroll bar on the right will give an indication showing the current portion of the menu that is displayed.

Pressing the area between the arrow and the bar will cause the menu to scroll further if there

are many items. If there are many items in a menu, then the radio allows the menu to 'wrap

around' in either direction. This can make it easier to reach items at the end of a long menu,

such as a list of countries or Internet radio stations.

6. If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back to a higher

level menu by pressing the Back button on the screen.

7. Touch the Close button to exit the current mode. The display will return to the home menu

screen.

8. Touch the Volume button and then use the + or - buttons on the screen or use the Rotary Volume

control until your required volume level is reached.

9. Your internet radio has a Play mode idle screen which displays the time and date with information

relevant to the operating mode but without the control buttons being visible. The time delay

before the idle screen is shown can be adjusted between 1 and 10 minutes see the section of

‘Idle time out’.

When the idle screen is shown touch the screen to reactivate the main play-mode screen.

10. Your radio has slideshow feature adding visual content from digital radio broadcasters. This

feature allows you to view photos of presenters and artists, including album covers and

concert information, as well as obtain general information, such as weather, travel, promotional

updates and advertising information.

Connecting your internet radio to your computer network

1. Place your internet radio on a at surface.

2. If you wish to use a wired network connection, plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 socket (marked LAN) at the back of the radio.

3. Plug the mains lead into the mains socket located at the back of your radio ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.

4. Plug the other end of the mains lead into a wall socket and switch on the wall socket.

IMPORTANT:

The mains plug is used as the means of connecting the radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio from the mains, the mains plug should be removed from the mains socket outlet completely.

5. When you apply power, the display on the radio will light up and say: 'WELCOME TO DIGITAL RADIO'. The rst time that you use your radio (or after a Factory Reset) the display will show 'Start setup wizard now' . Touch Yes on the screen to start the setup wizard. You will then need to select the desired language (go to step 7).

6. You are recommended to run the setup wizard, but if you wish not to, touch No on the display. The screen will ask if you wish to run the setup wizard again at the next start up. The radio will then enter standby mode with the clock not set.

7. For the language option, select English. You will then have a choice to set the clock to use the 12 or 24 hour format. Touch the desired hour format.

8. A menu allowing you to specify the synchronisation source for the clock will appear on the display. The default of Internet will be the best option for most users.

other than internet go to step 11. Otherwise you will rst need to select the correct time zone and

daylight savings setting, see steps 9 and 10. If you choose None you will need to set the clock

manually, see section ‘Manually setting the clock.’

9. Select the time zone which is applicable to your location.

10. You will then need to set the daylight Savings option according to your location (Daylight

Savings is also known as Summer / Winter time or BST/ GMT adjustment).

11. The display will then show a list of WiFi region options for the network set up. Touch the

required region. Do this even if planning to use the wired Ethernet connection. Your radio will

then scan for available WiFi networks.

12. The radio will enter the Network Settings Wizard and will display ‘Scanning….’ After a short

while the display will show a list of the available WiFi networks. If you are intending to use the

WiFi connection, go to step 13. To use the Ethernet connection to your router (with automatic

conguration), scroll through and touch the <Wired Network> menu item. The radio will attempt

If your network allows automatic conguration (which is normal) the radio will acquire a network

address. The screen should say ‘Connecting,’ and then ‘Setup Wizard completed.’ Touch OK to

exit the setup wizard, the radio will enter Standby mode. You can then skip to step 20 .

There are two indicator lights incorporated into the RJ-45 connector. If you have problems with

your wired connection, they may help you to identify the possible cause of the problem.

Yellow ON= Link established ; OFF =no connection

Yellow Flashing= Data transfer

Green ON= 100 Mbits/ sec link; OFF= 10 Mbits/ sec link

If your network does not support automatic conguration or if you wish to set it up manually then

you should select Manual Settings instead of selecting Wired in the Network Wizard, then see

the section of ‘Manual network conguration.’

13. If you plan to use a WiFi connection, you will rst need to identify your network in the list of

network names presented by the Network Wizard. If no networks are found then you may have

to get your wireless router working (please see the instructions supplied with it) or you may be

too far from the router. When the radio nds your wireless network, it displays the Network

Name (SSID) for the wireless access point on the screen. This is a name that is allocated to

the access point in your router by the person who set up the network-for example’ Jones

family’ or ‘Paul’s network.’ If the router supports WiFi Protected Setup, then ‘[WPS]’ will be

shown in front of the SSID. It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio

will nd more than one wireless network, in which case you should choose which one you need

to connect to.

14. Scroll through the list to see the SSID for each wireless network that has been found. If your

network is shown proceed to step 16 on the next page. If it is not shown then proceed to step 15.

If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back button to go back to the previous screen.

15. If your network is not found, it may be because the router is congured not to broadcast the SSID. You should then scroll through the menu and select Manual settings option in order to enter the network details manually. This is described in ‘Manual Network Conguration’. If your network name is being broadcast, and it was not found, then try re-scanning (press the Back button), and if necessary try moving your radio to a location to a location closer to your access point/ router.

16. When the SSID for the wireless network you wish to connect to appears on the screen, touch to select. If WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) was indicated, you will see an additional menu at this point, otherwise proceed to step 17. Choose one of the WPS menu options as required for your router (WPS may be via push button, or using an identication number). 'Push Button' - the display prompts you to press the WPS button on your router or access point and touch OK on screen. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the radio. 'PIN' - the display shows an identication number which you must enter into your router using a web browser (refer to your router's user documentation). Then touch OK on screen on the radio. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the radio. 'Skip WPS' - if you wish to enter the encryption key yourself. If you chose Push Button or PIN the screen will then show 'Connecting...' and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Touch OK to exit the setup wizard and then go to paragraph 20 on the next page.

17. If your network is congured without an encryption key, the screen should say 'Connecting...', and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Touch OK to exit the setup wizard and enter Standby mode. If this is the case then you have successfully connected your radio to your network, so please go to paragraph 20 on the next page.

18. If the screen displays 'Network Key:', it is because the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA). You will need to enter the correct WEP or WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate with your wireless network. If you do not have the WEP or WPA key, then you should obtain it from the person who set up your network. Some wireless routers may come with an encryption key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the documentation provided with it. WPA is used here to also include WPA2.

WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Press the '123' button, then press

again when it shows 'hex'. This provides a simplified keyboard layout for the WEP key entry.

Some wireless routers can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these are not supported.

WPA keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters. Your radio

accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.

19. To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters see page 11. Enter characters as needed until the

complete key has been entered. Remember, WEP keys only use the numbers 0-9 and letters

A-F. WPA keys are sensitive to upper and lower case characters. You must enter the key exactly

or the radio will not connect to the network. After the nal character of the WEP or WPA key

has been entered touch the tick symbol. The screen will show 'Connecting...' and then 'Setup

wizard completed'. Touch OK to exit the setup wizard. The radio should now be able to connect

to the network.

20. Once you have connected your radio to the network (and therefore also to the Internet) it will

go into Standby mode. It should then display the time as obtained from the Internet. If the time

display is not correct for any reason, it can easily be adjusted manually later, see the section

for ‘manually setting the clock.’

If you have followed the steps on the preceding sections successfully, your radio will have

connected to your router, and then made a connection to the Internet and set its clock. If this

is the case, then you can try listening to radio stations via the Internet as described in the

section of ‘Internet Radio’ onwards.

In the sections above, you choose how your radio would be connected to your network, either

using a WiFi connection or using a wired Ethernet cable. From time to time, you may nd that you

need to connect to different computer networks. The Internet setup menu allows you to change

your radios network settings, scan for an alternative wireless network, or to manually congure

the network parameters.

The steps outlined below describe how you can do this - see also the section 'Network proles'

on. If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to the section of ‘Internet Radio’.

Conguring the radio to use an alternative WiFi connection

1. From the 'Settings'> 'Network settings' menu touch Network wizard. This will present you with

details of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list and touch the desired network

name. The radio will then use its WiFi system to communicate with the network. Depending on

the settings for the new network you may need to enter an encryption key. By default the radio

will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.

Conguring the radio to use the wired Ethernet connection

2. Connect your radio to your router using an Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ-45 socket (marked

LAN) at the back of the unit. From the 'Settings'>'Network settings' menu touch Network wizard.

This will present you with details of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list and

touch the <Wired Network> option. The radio will then use its Ethernet connection to communicate

with the network. By default the unit will then acquire an IP address and other network settings

from your router using DHCP.

If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic conguration, or if your network is congured with a hidden SSID, then you will need to enter some network settings manually. (Note - a hidden SSID may prevent casual observers from detecting your network, but it is not recommended as a means of network security.)

1. From the radios 'Settings'>'Network settings' menu, touch Manual settings. You must then choose whether to connect using 'Wired' or 'Wireless' connections. If you choose 'Wireless' there are as many as eleven settings screens, shown by the '1 of 11' progress marker at the top of the display. If you choose 'Wired' there are seven screens and the progress marker will reect this, although the steps to set up the network parameters are basically the same.

2. The next menu asks whether you wish to use DHCP to congure your network parameters (IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, etc.). Unless you are familiar with networking and related terminology, we recommend that you allow the use of DHCP. Choose DHCP Yes unless you need to specify the network details manually.

If you have chosen 'Wired' and then DHCP Yes, your radio should now establish a connection to the router using the Ethernet cable. Please skip to step 11 on page 20. If you chose 'Wireless' and DHCP Yes, please skip to step 6 in order to set up the wireless connection details. If you chose DHCP No for either connection method, the next step is to set up the IP address.

3. The manually specied IP address should be chosen to be compatible with the settings in your router and must be a unique address on your network. If you are using DHCP for some devices and static (manually congured) IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall outside the range that the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the rst three groups of digits will be the same for all devices on your network (Text entry is described on page 11). The display may show an address of 0.0.0.0. To delete a character touch backspace. To clear, touch and hold the backspace. Use digits and fullstop to enter the IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.25. Touch the tick symbol to conrm. When the IP address has been entered, the subnet mask should be entered. The subnet mask denes which parts of the IP address are common across your network. For most small networks the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 and this is entered in the same way.

4. The Gateway address is normally the IP address of the router through which the radio connects to the internet and is entered in the same way as the previous address.

5. In most installations the DNS settings (DNS = Domain Name System) will be set to the same IP

address as your router (192.168.1.1 in the example shown). In this case the secondary DNS

may be left at zero.

Text entry is described in previous section ‘Text entry screens’. Touch the tick symbol to conrm.

If you previously specied 'Wired' and then 'DHCP No', your radio should now connect to the

router using the Ethernet cable (in which case skip to step 11).

6. If you specied 'Wireless', the next step is to set up the WiFi connection, starting with the name

of the wireless network (SSID) followed by the encryption options and password.

To enter the SSID see text entry on page 11. Do this as needed until the complete network name

has been entered. The SSID setting is sensitive to upper and lower case characters and symbols.

You must enter it exactly as set up in your router.

7. Having entered the SSID, you must enter details of the encryption system used on your wireless

network. This should be the same as specied in your router settings. If your network does not

use encryption, then select the 'Open' option. Your radio should then connect to the network, so

skip to step 11. If your network uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) select 'Pre-Shared' option

then go to step 8. The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) - see

step 9.

8. If you chose 'Pre-Shared' in step 7, you should then choose the WEP option. The key should be

entered using only the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. The key will be 10 characters long for

64-bit encryption and 26 characters long for 128-bit encryption. Spaces or special symbols are

not permitted in WEP keys. Use the '123' then 'hex' buttons to access a keyboard for WEP key

entry. Once the key is entered the radio should connect to your network. Please skip to step 11.

9. WPA and WPA2 are similar, although WPA2 offers a higher level of security. Whichever you

selected in step 7, you then have to specify the variant used. They are TKIP (Temporal Key

Integrity Protocol) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). As previously, the setting should

match that used by your router. Some routers allow both to be specied, and the router will use

whichever variant is supported by the connected device. AES is regarded as the more secure

option if it is available.

10. The radio will then require you to enter the encryption key. This must be a string of between 8

and 63 characters and must be identical to the key which has been entered into your router.

Note - the encryption key is sensitive to the use of upper and lower case letters and symbols.

Take care to enter the key exactly, or the radio will not be able to connect to your router.

Once the key is entered the radio should connect to the network.

11. While the radio is trying to connect to the network, it will display 'Processing...' when checking

the encryption key (if using the WiFi connection) and then 'Connecting...'. If the connection is

made successfully, the radio will return to the Network settings menu. If the unit cannot connect,

then it will display a 'Failed to connect' message and will return to the SSID entry screen (step 6).

Once connected, the network settings are stored in the radio. The settings are retained when

the radio is disconnected from the mains. You may now use the Back and Mode buttons to

access the functions of your radio.

Internet Radio - the basics

Before you can use your internet radio to listen to broadcasts via the Internet, it is necessary to

have connected it to your computer network using either the wireless (WiFi) connection or the

wired Ethernet connection (RJ-45 socket) located on the back of the unit.

There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via the Internet as well as

'Podcasts'. Your radio provides several ways of searching for broadcasts in order to make nding

and choosing them easier. Once you have found radio stations which you like, you may add them

to a list of your favorite stations which your radio can access. You can store as many favorites as

you like.

You may search for an internet radio station by Location. If you know the name of the station and

the country from which a station is broadcast this may be the easiest method to nd a station. It

is also a great way to experience radio from other parts of the world.

You may also search for an internet radio station by Genre. If you prefer a particular type of

music, Blues for example, you may search for a radio station that broadcasts that type of music,

and you can choose from a list of Blues radio stations regardless of location, or taking location

into account.

If you know part of the name of an internet radio station, you can enter it into the radio and it will

search for stations that match that name. This can be helpful if you are unsure of the location or

genre of a particular station.

The WFR-2D radio connects to a radio station database which serves many users in many

countries. This means that there is a very wide range of programme content available. You can

also search for stations which have been recently added to those available (new stations) or you

can search for the most popular.

If your radio cannot connect to a radio station

Note:

If your radio is unable to connect to an internet radio station it will generally either display

'Network Error' or 'Stopped'. This can be for many reasons, but typically will be due to one of the

following:

The radio station may not be broadcasting at the present time.

The radio station may not be able to accommodate any more connections from internet listeners.

The broadcaster may limit listening to specic countries or regions.

There may be network congestion (either locally or at a distance) which is affecting the reliability

of the connection.

If your radio can connect, but the audio is not continuous and the radio keeps having to

reconnect, this may be due to the radio station only having limited connection capacity.

there are many items in a menu, then the radio allows the menu to ‘warp around’ in either

direction. this can make it easier to reach items at the end of a long menu, such as a list of

countries or internet radio stations.

Searching for a radio station by name

There may be occasions when you know the name of a radio station but you do not know the

location or genre. This facility allows you to search for the station using a part (or parts) of the

radio station name.

<Search stations> is accessed via the Stations menu.

You can refer to section of ‘Text entry screens’ for how to enter text.

The radio will search for radio stations that match your search data. If you include a space

between two search items the radio will look for station names which included both items. Thus

a search for ‘Rock 100’ could nd s station called ‘100 Classics Rock Hits’ as well as a station

called ‘100.FM Rocks.’

Touch the station that you wish to listen to. The display will show ‘Connecting…’ while it nds a

new station.

Internet Radio

As described in the section 'Internet Radio - the basics', your radio connects via the Internet to

a database of radio stations. This option is provided to highlight stations which are newly added

to the list of those available, or stations which are particularly popular with listeners around the

world. Your radio allows you to easily choose stations from these two categories, using menus

similar to those used when nding stations by location and genre.

New and Popular stations are accessed from the Stations menu.

Last Listened

It is often helpful to be able to go back to a station that you have recently listened to. Your radio

has a 'Last Listened' feature which provides you with quick access to the most recently listened

to radio stations or podcasts. As each new radio station is listened to the oldest item is deleted

from the list. The Last Listened list is stored when the radio is disconnected from the mains.

The Last Listened stations list is accessed from the Internet radio bar.
