Connecting your radio to your computer network

1. Place your radio on a flat surface and plug the mains lead into the

Mains input socket located on the rear of your radio (marked 'AC in')

ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.

2. If planning to use a wired network connect the Ethernet cable into the

RJ-45 socket at the back of the radio. If a wired connection is present

then the radio will use this in preference to a wireless connection.

3. Plug the other end of the mains lead into a wall socket and switch on

the wall socket.

IMPORTANT: The mains plug is used as the means of connecting

the radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio

must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the

radio from the mains completely, the mains plug should be removed

from the mains socket outlet completely.

4. The display on the front of the radio will light up and say: 'Roberts

Internet Radio'. If you are using a wired Ethernet connection to your

router, the radio should connect, and download a radio station list

update. It will then go to the main mode menu, see page 14, 'After

you have connected to your network'.

If you are not using a wired connection, or if the wired connection is

not working, after a few seconds the display will change to show 'Scan

for networks', see page 12.

There are two indicator lights incorporated into the RJ-45 connector.

If you have problems with your wired connection, they may help you

to identify the possible cause of the problem.
