Getting started / setup

Although the Scansonic R4 is sophisticated, getting started is simple. To play FM radio, all you need is a
power source (a 100-240 V mains supply).

For Music Player mode, you need either a USB stick with music files or a wired/wireless Ethernet
network and a UPnP music server (e.g. a PC).

For Internet-connected modes such as Internet radio or Pandora, you also need a broadband Internet
connection.

01 Place Scansonic R4 on a suitable shelf or table and plug it in to a power outlet.

02 To receive broadcast radio (FM), extend the telescopic antenna.

03 Press and hold Standby to power on.

SETUP WIZARD

When Scansonic R4 is started for the first time, it runs through a setup wizard to configure settings for
date/time and network. Once this has finished, the system is ready to use in most modes.

Note: To change these settings later, select Menu > System settings >.
To run the setup wizard again, select Menu > System settings >
Setup wizard.

Select Yes to start the setup wizard.

Note: If you want to use a wired network, bypass the setup wizard.

If you choose No, the next screen asks if you would like to run the
wizard next time Scansonic R4 is started. The system then starts without configuring time/date and
network settings and enters the Main Menu.

Note: If power is removed while the wizard is in progress, the wizard will run again next time Scansonic
R4 is started.

12 / 24 hour display

To change between 12 and 24 hour display, select Set 12 / 24 hour and then select your preference.
