3. Started and setup
MK100 is easy to use. 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 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.
3.1 Setup wizard

Settings for date/time and network. Once this has finished, the system is ready to use in
most
modes.

portal to get a list of stations, organized into different categories like Country, Most
popular and Genre.

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 29. 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
MK100 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 MK100 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:
