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 congured 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
10-20 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.
