QUICKSTART GUIDE - 1
What you need before you can use your Internet Radio:
A broadband internet connection is required.
A wireless (Wi-Fi) modem or router connected to your broadband (cable or DSL) internet.
NOTE: IF your wireless (Wi-Fi) network is password protected (WEP or WPA), please obtain your
password before proceeding to Step 1. All passwords are UPPER and lower case sensitive.
Step 1: Plug the round jack from the power cord into the back of the radio and the other end into a wall
outlet. On the back of the radio turn the main power switch to “ON”. The display should turn on within
approximately 4 seconds and flash a series of messages. The messages that are briefly displayed will
be ‘Grace Digital Radio’, ‘Starting…’ then ‘Scanning’.
NOTE: If your radio does not automatically start scanning when plugged into power the 1st time, please
press the ‘Power / Vol’ dial on the front of the radio to turn your radio on and to view the main Internet
radio menu. Turn the ‘Push/Sel’ dial to the left or right until the word ‘settings’ is highlighted. Press the
‘Push/Sel’ dial inwards to select ‘settings’. On the top of the next screen please select ‘Network
Configurations’ by pressing the ‘Push/Sel’ dial. (To go back to previous menus at any time press the
‘back’ button on the radio). On the top of the next screen please select ‘Scan for Networks’ by pressing
the ‘Push/ Sel’ dial inwards.
Step 2: The radio is now scanning for available Wi-Fi (wireless) network(s) in your area. After the
scanning process is complete, the radio will display the names (also referred to as SSID’s) of one or
more wireless networks that are within range. Scroll the ‘Push/Sel’ dial to the left or right until the name
of your network (SSID) is highlighted. After you highlight your network, press the ‘Push/Sel’ dial inwards
to select your network.
NOTE: If your radio does not display the name of your wireless network please make sure you are
within range of your wireless network. If your network does not broadcast its SSID you can enter it in
manually in the ‘enter network name’ section of the settings / network config. menu.
Step 3: The display will now prompt you to enter in your network’s key. This ‘Key’ is the same key
(password) you use to connect any wireless device (laptop, mobile phones, game console etc) to your
Wi-Fi (wireless) network. This key or password is also sometimes called a ‘WEP’ or ‘WPA’ password or
‘code’. If you do not know your password, please contact the person or company that set up your Wi-Fi
(wireless) network to obtain your password.
NOTE: All passwords are UPPER and lower case sensitive. Thus letters must be entered correctly
using upper or lower case as was used to set the password originally. To enter in your password, scroll
the ‘Push/Sel’ dial to the right or left until the 1
center of the radio’s display. Press the dial inward to select the 1
final letter or number is selected.
NOTE: If you make a mistake at anytime, press the ‘back’ button to erase the letter(s) or number(s) then
select the correct entry. After the final letter or number in your password is selected rotate the dial until

the word ‘END’ is in the center of your display. The word ‘END’ is located in front of the beginning of the
alphabet. Choose ‘END’ by pressing the large dial inward. The radio will display ‘connecting to ….’,
followed by a series of messages. When the radio has successfully connected the main menu will be
displayed. If the main menu is not displayed and instead you see a the Clock please push in the
‘Power/Vol’ knob to display the main menu.
Step 4: You are now connected to your Wi-Fi network and the internet. To listen to a station, choose
‘Internet Radio’ on the main menu. The radio may then request the most recent radio station update
and display ‘Station update from Reciva’. When the station update is complete the radio will display
various search methods: ‘location’, ‘genre’, and ‘search’ etc. Choose the method you desire and
continue through the menu until you see a list of stations. Select the station by pressing the ‘Push/Sel’
dial inward when the station’s name is highlighted. After the station finishes buffering turn the volume up
on the radio until you hear the music out of the built in speaker.
