INTRODUCTION

INTERNET RADIO QUICK START GUIDE

What you need before you can use your Internet radio

Before you can use your Internet radio, you need the following:

• A broadband Internet connection.

• A wireless access point (Wi-Fi) connected to your broadband Internet, preferably via a

router.

• If your wireless network is configured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA) data encryption then you need to know the WEP or WPA code so

that you can get the Internet radio to communicate with the network.

The Internet radio should work anywhere within a distance of up to between 30 - 100 meters of

the wireless access point depending on the wireless conditions.

Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access point is powered up and connected to

your broadband Internet. To get this part of the system working you must read the instructions

supplied with the wireless access point.

MEDIA PLAYER QUICK START GUIDE

The Media Player allows you to play audio files (AAC, AIFF, AU, MP3, RM, WAV and WMA)

and playlists (M3U) stored on a networked PC. It has been verified to work on Windows 2000,

Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Please read this before installation.

If this Internet radio has been moved from a cold place to a warm place, DO NOT plug it in for

2-3 hours (e.g. from a cold car boot to a warm room). There is a possibility that moisture may

have condensed in the Internet radio, which can cause damage to your Internet radio. To avoid

damage please unpack your Internet radio and allow it to stand at room temperature for 2-3

hours before use. This will help any moisture evaporate and prevent unnecessary damage to

your Internet radio.

DO ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.

Covers - Do not remove any fixed covers as this may expose dangerous voltages.

Weather - It is advisable to unplug an external aerial during a thunderstorm.

Ventilation - The ventilation holes on the casing of your Internet radio prevent it from over

heating. Do not block or cover these holes, especially with cloth or paper.

Do allow a minimum distance of 5cm around the apparatus for sufficient ventilation.

Damage - Never use your Internet radio if it is damaged in any way. Always place your Internet

radio on a flat level surface avoiding anywhere, which may be subject to strong vibration.

Temperature - Avoid extremes of temperature, either hot or cold, place your Internet radio well

away from heat sources such as radiators or gas/electric fires.

DO NOT use this apparatus in tropical climates.

Moisture - Do not allow your Internet radio to be exposed to rain, moisture or dust. If any liquid

is spilt into your Internet radio it can cause serious damage. If you spill any liquid into your

Internet radio switch it off at the mains immediately. Contact your store immediately.

CAUTION –Do not open any covers and do not repair yourself. Qualified personnel must carry

out repair work.

GETTING STARTED – INTERNET RADIO

Steps for connecting your radio to your wireless network

Step 1 - Power up the radio

First, connect to the AC Power. In use, the radio can be switched on or off with the standby

button.

The display on the front of the radio will light up and say:

Internet

Radio

After a few seconds, this will change to show:

Initialising

Network

After a few seconds, this will change to show:

< Scan for networks >

Step 2 - Scan for a wireless network connection

When the display says <Scan for networks>, press the SELECT button.

(Note: if you make a mistake at any point, press the BACK button to go back to the previous

screen.)

The radio will now scan for all available wireless networks and will display:

Scanning

If it can’t find one, then the display will say:

No Wireless

Networks Found

If this happens then you will have to get your wireless access point working - see the

instructions supplied with it.

Web Support: www.unisupport.net

When the radio finds your wireless network, it displays the ESSID for the access point on the

screen - this is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the

network - for example:

< My Home Network >

It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will find more than one wireless

access point, in which case you can choose which one you want to connect to. Press the

< or > button on the radio to see the ESSID for each access point the radio has found.

Step 3 - Connect to the wireless network

When the ESSID for the access point you want to connect to is displayed on the screen, press

the SELECT button.

If your network is not configured to need an encryption code, the screen should say:

Connecting to

network

Then:

Network OK

If the screen displays either:

Enter WEP key

Or:

Enter WPA key

Then the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You therefore need to enter the correct WEP or WPA code into

the radio to get it to communicate with your network.

Web Support: www.unisupport.net

Only the person who set up the network in the first place knows this code; if that person is not

you then you need to find out what it is.

After 3 seconds, the display goes into the code entry mode. To enter the code, use the < and >

button to select each character of the code in turn, pressing the SELECT button after each

character. Note that WEP and WPA codes are sensitive to upper and lower case characters so

you must enter them exactly.

After the final character, use the < or > button to select the END character and press the

SELECT button.

The radio should now be able to connect to the network.
