www.argonaudio.com
7
Radio 3i
The Standby screen shows the time, date and any active
alarm times.
As you cycle through the play modes using Mode ,
Argon Radio3i shows a splash screen for each mode.
After one second, Argon Radio3i enters the selected
mode and tries to start playing the last station or track
that was playing in that mode. If this is not possible,
Argon Radio3i tries to connect to the selected source by
scanning for stations, networks, or prompting for user
input as appropriate.
Now playing screens show information about the audio
source and track now playing, where available.
Dialogue screens are shown to allow the user to
change settings. They vary in complexity from simple
Yes/No options up to the scrollable network password
input screen.
As with menus, the selected item is shown with a white
background.
Dialogue screens mark the current setting with an
asterisk (*).
Error/Information screens give specific messages for a
few seconds, then change automatically to another
screen.
Menus
Argon Radio3i has basically three types of menu. Use the Select control to step through and select
options. A scroll bar on the right of the screen shows if there are further options above or below those
visible.
Each mode has a Mode menu,
with options specific to that mode.
For example, the FM mode menu has just two options:
Scan setting and Audio setting.
In addition, each mode menu has two final options:
System settings > and Main menu >.
The ‘>’ indicates options leading to further menus.

www.argonaudio.com
8
Radio 3i
The System settings menu allows access to system
settings and information such as network, time, language
and software update.
Menus with more options than will fit on one screen have a
scroll bar to the right.
The Main menu allows access to all modes
plus sleep and timer functions.
(note; Last FM and Pandora only available in the US)
Some menus, for example the System settings menu, have several submenus.
3. Getting started/setup
Although the Argon Radio3i is sophisticated, getting started is simple. To play DAB or FM radio, all you
need is a power source (a 100-240 V mains supply).
For Music Player mode, you need a wireless network and a UPnP music server (e.g. a PC).
For Internet-connected modes such as Internet radio, you also need a broadband Internet connection.
To set up the Radio3i:
1. Place Radio3i on a suitable shelf or table
2. Connect the power adaptor between Radio3i and the mains supply.
3. To receive broadcast radio (DAB and FM), extend the telescopic antenna.
The setup wizard starts.
3.1 Setup wizard
When Radio3i is started for the first time, it runs through a setup
wizard to configure settings for date/time and network. Once this
has finished, the system is ready to use in most modes.
Note: To change these settings later, select Menu > System
settings >. To run the setup wizard again, select Menu >
System settings > Setup wizard.
Select Yes to start the setup wizard.
If you choose No, the next screen asks if you would like to run
the wizard next time Radio3i is started. The system then starts
without configuring time/date and network settings and enters
the Main Menu.
Note: If power is removed while the wizard is in progress, the
wizard will run again next time Radio3i is started.
3.1.1 12/24 hour display
To change between 12 and 24 hour display, select Set 12/24 hour and then select your preference.
3.1.2 Time/date
The time and date can be updated manually or automatically. With auto-update, the time and date are
automatically synchronised with external clocks. Auto-update is generally more accurate.

www.argonaudio.com
9
Radio 3i
Auto-update
Auto-update works with data sent over DAB, FM or the Internet.
The clock is only updated when in a corresponding mode, so it is
best to select a mode you use regularly.
DAB and FM use time signals broadcast with
radio transmissions.
Network uses a time signal sent from the Frontier Silicon Internet
radio portal when in any network-connected mode.
1. Select Update from DAB, Update from FM, Update from Network or No update.
2. If you are updating from the network, set your time zone.
3. If your country uses daylight saving, the automatically updated time from the network may be wrong
by one hour. When daylight savings are in effect (during the winter), turn on the Daylight savings
option to rectify this.
Note that if you are updating the time from DAB or FM, the Daylight savings option has no effect on
the clock’s time.
Radio3i will auto-update from the selected source when time information is available.
Manual set
If you set No update, the wizard now prompts you to set the time and date manually.
The date and time are displayed as dd-mm-yyyy and
hh:mm AM/PM with the first value, dd, active (flashing).
Adjust each value with the Select control. As each value
is set, the next value becomes active and flashes.
3.1.3 Network
Radio3i is compatible with all common network protocols and encryption methods, including Wi-Fi Protected
Setup (WPS).
To connect Radio3i to your network, you need a Wi-Fi wireless router, together with password key if set
Select WLAN region/country > Wi-Fi network
(SSID)
, and then select a network from the list.
If the network is open (non-encrypted), Radio3i connects
without any further ado; see Completion below.
Standard encrypted network
To enter the network’s key (password), use the Select
control to move the cursor through the characters and
select.
As each character is selected, the key is built up near the
top of the display.
There are three options accessible by turning Select
back before the first characters (0123…)
– Backspace, OK and Cancel.
WPS encrypted network
WPS encrypted networks are identified by ‘[WPS]’ at the
start of the network name, and have three methods of
connection. Select one and follow the prompts:

www.argonaudio.com
10
Radio 3i
•Push Button >
Radio3i prompts you to press the connect button on the router.
It then scans for a ready Push Button Connect network and connects.
•Pin > (code number)
Radio3i generates an 8-digit code number which you enter into the
wireless router, access point, or an external registrar
(e.g. advanced versions of Windows Vista).
•Skip WPS >
Enter key as for a standard encrypted network, above.
For more information on setting up a WPS encrypted network, see your WPS router’s instructions.
Completion
Radio3i tries to connect to the selected network.
If connecting fails, Radio3i returns to a previous screen to try again.
If the network connection is lost, Radio3i automatically tries to reconnect.

www.argonaudio.com
11
Radio 3i
3.2 Other settings
Settings for connecting to premium services such as Last.fm and Pandora are covered in the sections for
those modes. Common settings are covered below.
Notice Last.FM and Pandora are only available in the US.
3.2.1 Equalizer
Several preset EQ modes are available; also a user-
defined setting.
To adjust the EQ, select Menu > System settings >
Equaliser.
You can then choose from a variety of preset modes or
create your own, with custom bass, treble and loudness
settings.
Follow the steps here
3.2.2 Network
Radio3i remembers the last four wireless networks it has connected to, and automatically tries to connect
to whichever one of them it can find.
You can see the list of registered networks through Menu > System settings > Network >
Network profile >. From here you can delete unwanted networks by turning and pressing Select then
confirming delete Yes.
There are also other options for viewing and manually altering network settings from Menu > System
settings > Network > (for example setting up a wired network). Users experienced with networking may
find these options useful for diagnosing and fixing network problems.
3.2.3 Language
The default language is English. To change, select Menu > System settings > Language > then select
your language.

www.argonaudio.com
12
Radio 3i
3.3 Internet radio portal registration
Argon Radio3i uses the Frontier Silicon Internet radio portal website that allows you to organise your
favourite’s lists and also listen to Internet radio on a computer.
To register your Radio3i with the portal, switch to Internet
radio mode as described in Section 4, and then obtain your
radio’s unique portal access code by selecting
Menu > Station list > Help > Get access code >.
Write down the access code.
Note: Do not confuse the portal access code with the Radio ID (from Menu > System settings > Info.)
Visit the portal website at www.wifiradio-frontier.com.
If this is your first visit to the portal, register for a new account, entering the following information:
•access code,
•your e-mail address,
•password,
•radio model (Argon Radio3i).
If you already have an account and wish to add an additional radio, log in to your account and select My
preferences > Add another Wi-Fi radio.
Once your radio is registered with the portal, you can immediately use the Internet radio
favourites and added stations features.
3.4 Setting up a music server
In order for Radio3i to play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share files or
media.
UPnP media sharing allows devices like Radio3i to play music from a shared media library, navigating
through tag menus such as Artist, Album or Genre. If you are running a suitable server system such as a
PC with Windows Media Player 10 or later (WMP), and your music library is well-tagged, then it is
recommended to use media sharing. Only the UPnP server needs to be set up.
Notice: iTunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server, but there are add-ons available
to work with an iTunes library.

www.argonaudio.com
13
Radio 3i
3.5 Sharing media with Windows Media Player
The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (10 or later). Alternatively, other UPnP
platforms and servers may be used. To set up WMP for media sharing, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the PC is connected to the network.
2. Ensure that the radio is powered on and connected to the same network.
3. In WMP, add to the media library the audio files and folders you want to share with Radio3i
(Library > Add to Library…).
4. In WMP, enable media sharing (Library > Media sharing…).
Notice: setup can differ depending on which version of WMP you have
Notice; it may show; Argon Radio3i, “Unknown device”, “Frontier Silicon” or the Jupiter logo as shown below.
Make sure that the radio has access to the shared media by selecting it and clicking Allow. You can
also set a name for the shared media in Settings… Click OK to close the dialogue boxes.
The PC is now ready to stream the music to the radio. The WMP UPnP service runs in the background;
there is no need to start WMP explicitly.
3.6 Setting up Radio3i for “Play To” Windows 7 streaming media feature.
1. To set-up Argon Radio3i to be controlled and to stream music via Windows Media Player 12 (Windows 7
only), perform the following steps:
2. Ensure that the PC is connected to the network.
3. Ensure that Radio3i is powered on and connected to the same network.
Note: Radio3i must be in an Internet radio mode to be detected.
4. From the Windows 7 main screen,
select Start > Devices and Printers.
5. Select the Add a device tab in the top left of the Devices
and Printers window and follow the instruction prompts given
by the wizard.

www.argonaudio.com
14
Radio 3i
In the Devices and Printers window a icon *) will appear and you are now ready to stream your
Windows media music files to Radio3i.
*) To change the name of your device, right click on icon and choose properties. Then choose UPnP and
click on “device webpage”.
4. Internet Radio mode
Radio3i can play thousands of radio stations and
podcasts from around the world though a broadband
Internet connection.
When you select Internet radio mode, Radio3i contacts
the Frontier Silicon Internet radio portal to get a list of
stations, organised into different categories like Country,
Most popular and Genre. Once you select a station, Radio3i
connects directly to that station.
The portal also enables multiple lists of favourite stations that you can personalise, for example Andy’s
stations, Jo’s favourites, Talkshows. To use the favourites feature, register your radio with the portal
website as described on page 12. If you have several Frontier Silicon radios, you can register them all on
the same account so that each radio has access to your favourite’s lists. It is possible to add favourites
either directly through Radio3i or through any computer with a web browser.
To enter Internet Radio mode, either press Mode until the display shows Internet Radio or select
Menu > Main menu > Internet Radio.
Note: The station list menu is provided from the Internet radio portal, so it is only accessible when Radio3i
is connected to the Internet. Station lists and submenus may change from time to time.
There are several ways of selecting stations.
Directly from the radio:
•Last listened
•Presets
From the portal through the Menu > Station list > menu:
•Favourites lists
•Browse by Country, Genre, Most popular, Newest
•Search by keyword
•My added stations
If you are already listening to an Internet radio station, you can press Back rather than Menu to quickly
return to the last visited branch of the menu tree. For example, suppose you were listening to New Orleans
Radio through the browse facility as described in section 4.4 below. Pressing Back would return you to
the Highlighted Blues stations menu. Pressing Back again would return you to the Blues menu, and
so on.

www.argonaudio.com
15
Radio 3i
4.1 Last listened
When Internet radio mode restarts, the last-listened station is selected. To select another recently used
station, select Menu > Last listened then one of the stations listed. Most recent stations appear at the top

station is playing, it shows Pn(P1, P2 etc) in the bottom of the screen.
Note: Operation of presets is identical for Internet radio, DAB and FM.
4.3 Favorites
Favourites are stored on the Internet radio portal. Before you set up an account on the portal from its Web
interface (www.wifiradio-frontier.com), the favourites are associated solely with the radio on which you set
them. After you set up a portal account, all the favourites from your different radios are merged into a
combined favourites list. This combined list is available to all the radios on your account.
To store a playing station as a favourite, press and hold Select until the display shows ‘Favourite added’.
The station appears in the default favourites list Stations.
To select a favourite, select Menu > Station list > My favourites > [Favourites list] > [Station].
4. 4 Browse
To browse Internet broadcasts, select

If you are already playing a music file, you can press Back rather than Menu to quickly return to the
last visited branch of the menu tree. For example, suppose you were listening to the track Heat by the
artist 50 Cent through browsing shared media as described in section 0 below. Pressing Back would
return you to the track listing for the album Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Pressing Back again would list all
50 Cent albums. Pressing Back again would list all album artists, and so on.
You can use << and >> to move through tracks. Press and hold to rewind or fast forward and press
quickly to select previous or next track.
5.1 Shared media (from UPnP media server)
Select Menu > Shared media >
If you have set up shared media (as described on page 12-13), you should see an entry consisting of
<computer name>: <Shared media name>, for example JB-Laptop: Audio. If you have more than one
computer sharing media, the alternatives are listed. Select the shared media you want to play.
From this point on, the menus are generated from the shared
media server (typically Windows Media Player). The first menu
shows a list of media types, for example Music, Video, Pictures and
Playlists. Radio3i can only play music and playlists.
There is also a search function, which finds tracks in a similar
way to Internet radio search, as described on page 16.
From Music, there are numerous ways of selecting tracks, including:
•Genre
•Artist
•Album
•Composer
•Rating
Once you have found a track you want to play, press Select .
A short press plays the track immediately and a long press adds
the track to the playlist. You can also add entire albums to the playlist.
Radio3i plays either the selected track or the playlist.

Radio 3i
5.1.1 Wake-on-LAN
If shared media is selected a list of available music servers will be displayed.
If a question mark appears before the server name, this indicates that the server has been seen before
and supports Wake-on-LAN functionality, but cannot currently be found on the network.
If a server with a question mark is selected by the user, the device will try to wake the server up and
connect to it. In some instances this may not be possible as the server may not be connected to the
network any more or may be switched off.
5.1.2 Prune servers
From time to time it may be necessary to remove servers displaying question marks in front of the server
name from the server list. For example, if the device is moved to a new network or if a Wake-on-LAN
server is removed from your current network.
To perform this function go to Menu > Prune servers > Yes
5.2 Playlists
Radio3i holds a queue of up to 500 tracks in the playlist. Playlist
tracks can be mixed from multiple UPnP servers. To manage the
playlist, select
Menu > My playlist.
•To view the playlist, scroll though it by turning

6. Using the “Play To” feature in Windows 7 to stream media
One of the new Windows 7 features includes a feature called “Play To” and this lets your PC running
Windows 7 control Radio3i to push media and use as a universal remote control for your media
collection.
Radio3i supports the industry standard DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) 1.5 digital media renderer.
This allows you to "Play To" other devices around your home and combine media streaming with
controlling a connected media receiver while streaming content to it from another Windows 7 PC on a
home network.
Before you can use the “Play To” feature you need the set-up Radio3i for Windows 7 streaming media.
6.1 Use “Play To” in Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player makes it easy to manage your media, find items that you want to play, and open Play
To. To select items that you want to play, follow these steps:
1. Click the Start button, click All Programs, and then click Windows Media Player.
If the Player is currently open and you’re in Now Playing mode, click the Switch to Library button in
the upper-right corner of the Player.
2. If the list pane is closed or if the Burn or Sync tabs are exposed, click the Play tab.
3. Find the items that you want to play in the Player Library, and then drag those items from the details
pane into the list pane.
4. Click the Play to button at the top of the list pane, click the device on your network that will receive
the media.
5. In the Play To dialog box, use the playback controls to play, pause, or stop the media stream, and to
change to the next or previous item in the list.
6.2 Use “Play To” elsewhere in Windows 7
Outside of Windows Media Player, you can stream media to Radio3i with “Play To” by right-clicking music
files. To select music files and stream them to Radio3i, follow these steps:
1. Click the files you want to stream to Radio3i.
2. Right-click the selected files, point to “Play to”, and then click the device on the network that will
receive the media.
3. In the Play To dialog box, use the playback controls to play, pause, or stop the media stream, and to
change to the next or previous item in the list.

7.1 Scanning for stations
The first time you select DAB radio mode, or if the station list is

stations are available. You may also need to start a scan manually
to update the list of stations for one of the following reasons:
•Available stations change from time to time.
•If reception was not good for the original scan
(for example the antenna was not up), this may result in
an empty or incomplete list of available stations.
•If you have poor reception of some stations (burbling),
you may wish to list only stations with good signal strength.
To start a scan manually, select Menu > Scan.
Once the scan is complete, the radio shows a list of available stations.
To remove stations that are listed but unavailable, select Menu > Prune invalid.

selected, the station plays and the screen shows information about the station, track or show as broadcast.

station is playing, it shows Pn(P1, P2 etc) in the bottom right of the screen.
