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) connection 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 you can get the internet radio to communicate with the network, or 
 your router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).
If connecting using WiFi, the internet radio will typically work within a 
0-20 metre radio from your wireless access point. The actual range 
achieved will depend upon the building type, other nearby wireless 
network, and possible interference sources. DAB and FM radio 
functions can operate wherever the internet 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.
