Introduction
Thanks for purchasing the Promate iRadio! Now you can listen to more than
12,000 radio stations from all over the world. These stations cover all kinds
of subjects like entertainment, news, music, sports, etc. We hope you will
enjoy it to the full.
The iRadio works by using the internet to connect to a database of radio
stations, known as a portal. This portal is supplied by vTuner, the world
leader in this field. Once a specific radio station is selected on the iRadio,
a direct connection is established between the radio station itself and your
iRadio and the enjoyment begins.
To be able to use the iRadio, a broadband internet connection and a
wireless (WiFi) access point, connected to your broadband internet
(preferably via a router) is required. Before you start, make sure that
the wireless access point equipment is switched on and connected to
broadband internet. If necessary, please refer to the wireless access
equipment instructions, or contact the network service providers.
The FM radio (with RDS facility) is provided as a backup, for when a WiFi
connection is not available.
