Before you can use this product

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

A broadband Internet connection.

A wireless access point (Wi-Fi) or a wired Ethernet connection

(10 or 100 Mbits/sec with RJ45 connection; For RCR-7 only)

connected to your broadband Internet, 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 configured to use Wired Equivalent

Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption

then you need to know the WEP or WPA key so you can get the

Internet radio to communicate with the network.

The Internet 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.

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.
