GETTING STARTED AND SETUP
The radio is easy to use. To play DAB or FM radio, all you need is a power source (AC 230 V mains supply);
For Music Player mode, you need a wired/wireless Ethernet 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.
When the radio 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 the radio 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 the radio is started.
USE AND OPERATION
SETTING TIME AND DATE
To change between 12 and 24 hour display, select "Set 12/24" hour and then select your preference.
The time and date can be updated manually or automatically. With auto-update, the time and date are automatically
synchronized with external clocks. Auto-update is generally more accurate.

Start now?
Setup wizard
YES NO

AUTO-UPDATE
Auto-update works with data sent over DAB, FM or the Network. 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 network-connected mode.
• Select "Update from DAB", "Update from FM", "Update from Network" or "No update".
• If you are updating from the network, set your time zone.
• 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.
The radio 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.

NETWORK
The radio is compatible with all common network protocols and encryption methods.
To connect the radio 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), the radio connects without any further ado.
If your network is standard encrypted 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 networks are identified by ‘[WPS]’ at the start of the network name, and have
three methods of connection. Select one and follow the prompts:
• Push Button: The radio prompts you to press the connect button on the router. It then scans
for a ready Push Button Connect network and connects.
• Pin: The radio 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.

previous screen to try again. If the network connection is lost, the radio automatically tries
to reconnect.
EQUALIZER
Several preset EQ modes are available; also a user-defined setting. To adjust the EQ,
select "MENU > System settings > Equalizer". You can then choose from a variety of
preset modes or create your own, with custom bass, treble and loudness settings.
Choose: "My EQ profile setup", choose the setting and Use the "SCROLL/SOURCE" to
adjust the chosen setting.
NETWORK AND LANGUAGE
The radio 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 pressing "Select" then confirming delete "Yes".
You can also have other options to operate through "MENU>System settings > Network" (for example setting up a wired
network).
Users experienced with networking may find these options useful for diagnosing and find network problems.
The default language is English. To change, select " MENU > System settings > Language " > then select your favorite
language.
