Before you can use this product

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

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

Player functions).

● A wireless access point (WiFi) 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 configured 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 that you can get the radio to communicate with the network, or your

router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).

The radio will typically work within a 10-20 metre 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.
