Introduction

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) 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 requires a security password to allow
connection, then you either need to know the WEP, WPA or WPA2
key used for encryption so that you can get the radio to communicate
with the network, or your router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup
(WPS).
The radio is compatible with 802.11b, g, or n networks and can use 2.4GHz
or 5GHz WiFi frequency bands.
The radio will typically work within a 10-20 metre radius from your wireless
access point. The actual range achieved will depend upon the building
type, other nearby wireless networks, and possible interference sources.
DAB and FM radio functions can operate wherever the 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.

About this instruction manual
This instruction manual is split into sections for each of the different
operating modes of your Roberts iStream 2 internet radio. Each section
is clearly identified by the shaded heading in the top right hand corner of
each pair of pages.
Before using the Internet Radio and Music Player functions, you will need
to connect your radio to your computer network using the WiFi connection.
This is covered in the section titled Configuration.
The Internet Radio section describes how to find radio stations to listen
to. These can be radio stations that you already know and listen to
conventionally, or new stations you may search for. You may set up stations
that you like as Favourites so that they are more readily accessible.
The section for the Music Player describes how you may play music files
that you may have stored on a computer connected to your network. The
use of Shared Media (using UPnP) and USB playback is explained.
The Spotify Connect section explains the use of the radio in conjunction
with the Spotify internet based music streaming service.
The two sections for DAB Radio and FM Radio describe how to use the
radio to listen to conventional radio broadcasts.
The section titled Clock and Alarms describes the different ways by
which the clock in the radio may be set, as well as explaining the use of
the alarms, snooze and sleep timer features.
The Display and Audio section shows how to adjust the display, use
the equaliser and connect your internet radio to other audio equipment.
The Information section includes troubleshooting, specifications and
warranty information.

Battery operation
We recommend for economy that the iStream 2 is used with theAC adaptor
whenever possible with battery operation for occasional use only. Inserting
the adaptor plug into the DC input socket will disconnect the batteries.
If using batteries, only alkaline types should normally be used. Battery life
will vary according to the operating mode of the radio, listening volume,
battery type and temperature. Using quality branded Alkaline batteries,
listening at moderate volume, battery life may reach up to 60 hours with
WiFi disabled and up to 35 hours with WiFi enabled.
To install batteries in your radio follow these steps.
1. Release the catch securing the rear door of your radio.
2. Insert four LR20 (D size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity
as shown inside just above the battery compartment.
3. Close the rear door and secure the catch.
The low battery indicator lighting, reduced power, audio distortion or the
radio switching itself off are all signs that the batteries may need replacing.
If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is recommended
that the batteries are removed from the radio.
Rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells can be used in the radio
but must be charged outside the radio using an external charger. Note that
commercially available D size NiMH cells have a capacity which is only
a small fraction of that of D size Alkaline cells and so they will power the
radio for only a few hours before needing recharging. Never mix batteries
of different types, capacities or brands in the radio.
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire or the like. After use, disposable batteries should
if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account
should batteries be disposed of by incineration.

Navigation controls
These pages describe the basic means of controlling your iStream 2 internet radio.
Detailed instructions for each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.
1. Pressing and releasing the On/Off control brings your internet radio out of the
Standby mode if running from the mains or switches it on if using batteries.
Pressing and releasing the On/Off control while the internet radio is in use will
cause it to return to the Standby mode with the clock display when running from
the mains, or will switch it off after a short delay when running on batteries.
2. Pressing the Mode button gives you access to each of the operating modes in
turn: Internet Radio, Music Player, DAB radio, FM radio and Auxiliary Input.
3. Pressing the Menu button will access the menu system.
4. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. This is done
using the Tuning/Select control. Turn the control clockwise or anti-clockwise to
highlight the desired menu item then press the control to select that item.
If there are more than five items in a menu, then the display will automatically scroll
up or down so that the additional items become visible. A sliding bar on the right
will give an indication showing the current portion of the menu that is displayed.
If there are many items in a menu, then the internet radio allows the menu to 'wrap
around' in either direction. This can make it easier to reach items at the end of a
long menu, such as a list of countries or Internet radio stations.
5. Instead of pressing the Select control, the Forward button may also be used to
make selections from the displayed menu.
If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back
to a higher level menu by pressing the Back button.
6. The Info button allows the display of information relating to the radio station or
music file being played.

Connecting to your computer network
Before you can use your iStream 2 radio to listen to internet radio or to music streamed
from your computer, it must first be connected to your computer network.
This section of this book describes how to connect the radio to your network using
the wireless (WiFi) connection.
The following instructions assume that you have just set up the clock and time options
using the Setup Wizard as described on the preceding page.
These instructions also apply to the Network Wizard in the Network Settings menu
(from step 3 onwards).
1. After setting the Daylight Savings options (see page 12), the display will show
the 'Keep network connected?' option. You should choose 'Yes' if you wish to
keep the radio connected to the network when it is in Standby mode. This will
allow remote control software to switch on your radio when needed.
If you choose 'No' then your radio will shut down its WiFi connection when it is
in Standby, DAB, FM, or Aux-in modes. This minimises power consumption but
it does mean that you will need to switch the radio on manually in order to use
either Spotify Connect, the 'Play to' function or any remote control software such
as ConnectR app.
Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight the required option and then press
the control to make the selection.
2. After setting the Keep Connected option, the display will show a list of supported
WiFi regional options.
Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight the required region (for the UK
choose 'Most of Europe'), and then press the control to make the selection. Your
radio will then scan for available WiFi networks.
3. The radio will enter the Network Settings Wizard and will display 'Scanning...'.
The radio will automatically scan both 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi bands. After a
short while the display will show a list of the available WiFi networks.

Connecting to your computer network - cont.
You will first need to identify your network in the list of network names
presented by the Network Wizard. If no networks are found then
you may have to get your wireless router working (please see the
instructions supplied with it) or you may be too far from the router.
When the radio finds your wireless network, it displays the Network
Name (SSID) for the wireless access point on the screen. This is a
name that is allocated to the access point in your router by the person
who set up the network - for example: 'Jones family' or 'Paul's network'.
If the router supports WiFi Protected Setup, then '[WPS]' will be shown
in front of the SSID.
4. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to see the SSID for each wireless
network that has been found. If your network is shown proceed to step
6 on the next page. If it is not shown then proceed to step 5.
If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back option to go back to
the previous screen.
5. If your network is not found, it may be because the router is configured
not to broadcast the SSID. You should then use the Tuning/Select
control to highlight and select the '[Manual config]' option in order
to enter the network details manually. This is described in 'Manual
Network Configuration', see page 18.
If your network name is being broadcast, and it was not found, then
try re-scanning (press the Back button), and if necessary try moving
your radio to a location closer to your access point / router.

6. When the SSID for the wireless network you wish to connect to is highlighted on
the screen, press the Tuning/Select control. If WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) was
indicated, you will see an additional menu at this point, otherwise proceed to step 7.
Choose one of the WPS menu options as required for your router (WPS may be via
push button, or using an identification number).
'Push Button' - the display prompts you to press the WPS button on your router and
then the Tuning/Select control on the radio. The two devices should then connect
with the encryption key sent automatically from the router to the radio.
'PIN' - the display shows an identification number which you must enter into your
router using a web browser (refer to your router's user documentation). You should
then press the Tuning/Select control on the radio. The two devices should then
connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the radio.
'Skip WPS' - if you wish to enter the encryption key yourself (or if it was previously
entered into the radio).
If you chose Push Button or PIN the screen will then show 'Connecting...' and then
'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Tuning/Select control to exit setup wizard and
then go to paragraph 10 on the next page.
7. If your network is configured without an encryption key, the screen should say
'Connecting...', and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Tuning/Select control
to exit the setup wizard and show the main menu. If this is the case then you have
successfully connected your radio to your network, so please go to paragraph 10
on the next page.
8. If the screen displays 'Key:', it is because the network is using one of the encryption
systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA). You will
need to enter the correct WEP or WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate
with your wireless network. If you do not have the WEP or WPA key, then you should
obtain it from the person who set up your network. Some wireless routers may come
with an encryption key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer
to the documentation provided with it. WPA is used here to also include WPA2.
15

Configuration
Connecting to your computer network - cont.
WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Some wireless
routers can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these are not supported by your
radio. WPA keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63
characters. Your radio accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.
9. To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters are selected and entered using the
Tuning/Select control. As you rotate the control, the highlight scrolls through
the available characters as well as the three controls on the right. The character
currently highlighted will be entered when you press the Tuning/Select control.
Do this as needed until the complete key has been entered. Remember, WEP
keys only use the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F. WPA keys are sensitive to upper
and lower case characters. You must enter the key exactly or the radio will not
connect to the network.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions. You
can quickly access these by pressing the Info button and then use the Tuning/
Select control as needed. See also 'Text Entry' on page 9.
select ' ' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear)
select ' ' when the complete key has been entered
select ' ' to cancel and re-run the Network Wizard
If a WEP or WPA key has previously been entered for the selected SSID then the
display will show 'Key: [Set]'. If you have previously entered a different key, you must
clear this by selecting the ' ' symbol. This will remove the '[Set]' indication.
After the final character of the WEP or WPAkey has been entered, highlight the ' '
symbol and press the Tuning/Select control.The screen will show 'Connecting...'
and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Tuning/Select control to the exit
setup wizard. The radio should now be able to connect to the network.
10. Once connected to the network (and therefore also to the internet) your radio will
display the main menu. Press and release the On/Off button to put the radio into
Standby mode. It should then display the time as obtained from the Internet. If
the time displayed is not correct for any reason, it can easily be adjusted later,
see page 74, 'Manually setting the clock'. The clock display will switch off after
5 - 10 seconds if the radio is running on batteries.

If you have followed the steps on the preceding pages successfully, your radio will have connected to your
router, and then made a connection to the Internet and set its clock. If this is the case, then you can try
listening to radio stations via the Internet as described on page 22 onwards.
Note: The clock display in Standby mode is only maintained when the radio is powered from the mains.
If you are powering the radio from batteries, then the clock display will be switched off after about 5 - 10
seconds and the radio will shut down completely in order to minimise battery usage. The clock will be set
to the current time the next time that you switch on the radio, depending upon the clock update settings.
Changing the network connection
From time to time, you may find that you need to connect to different computer networks. The Internet
setup menu allows you to change your radio’s network settings, scan for an alternative wireless network,
or to manually configure the network parameters.
The steps outlined below describe how you can do this - see also the section 'Network profiles' on page 89.
If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to page 22.
Configuring the radio to use an alternative WiFi connection
1. From the Network settings menu select 'Network wizard'. This will present you with details of any WiFi
networks that are found. Scroll down the list using the Tuning/Select control to the desired network
name. Press the control to select this network.
The radio will then use its WiFi system to communicate with the network. Depending on the settings
for the new network you may need to enter an encryption key (see pages 15-16). By default the radio
will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.

Manual network configuration
If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic configuration, or if your network is configured with a hidden
SSID, then you will need to enter some network settings manually. (Note - a hidden SSID may prevent
casual observers from detecting your network, but it is not recommended as a means of network security.)
1. From the radios Network settings menu, select 'Manual settings'. There are as many as nine settings
screens, shown by the '1 of 9' progress marker in the top right corner of the display.
2. The next menu asks whether you wish to use DHCP to configure your network parameters (IP address,
subnet mask, gateway address, etc.). Unless you are familiar with networking and related terminology,
we recommend that you allow the use of DHCP. Choose 'DHCP enable' unless you need to specify
the network details manually.
If you chose 'DHCP enable', please skip to step 6 on page 19 in order to set up the wireless connection
details.
If you chose 'DHCP disable' the next step is to set up the IP address.
3. The manually specified IP address should be chosen to be compatible with the settings in your router
and must be a unique address on your network. If you are using DHCP for some devices and static
(manually configured) IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall outside the range that
the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the first three groups of digits will be the same for all
devices on your network. To enter the IP address, rotate the Tuning/Select control to set the value for
each group of digits and then press the control to enter the value and to move on to the next group.
When the IP address has been entered, the subnet mask should be entered. The subnet mask defines
which parts of the IP address are common across your network. For most small networks the subnet
mask will be 255.255.255.0 and this is entered in the same way.
4. The Gateway address is normally the IP address of the router through which the radio connects to the
internet and is entered in the same way as the previous addresses.

5. In most installations the DNS settings (DNS = Domain Name Server) will be set to the same IP address
as your router. In this case the secondary DNS may be left at zero.
To enter the DNS address, rotate the Tuning/Select control to set the value for each group of digits
and then press the control to enter the value and to move on to the next group. Repeat this until all
eight groups of digits have been entered.
6. The next step is to set up the WiFi connection, starting with the name of the wireless network (SSID)
followed by the encryption options and password.
To enter the SSID, characters are selected and entered using the Tuning/Select control. As you rotate
the control, the radio scrolls through the available characters as well as the three controls on the right.
The character currently highlighted will be entered when you press the Tuning/Select control. See
also 'Text Entry' on page 9.
Do this as needed until the complete network name has been entered. The SSID setting is sensitive
to upper and lower case characters and symbols. You must enter it exactly as set up in your router.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions. You can quickly access
these by pressing the Info button and then use the Tuning/Select control as needed:
select ' ' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info again to continue
select ' ' when the complete SSID has been entered
select ' ' to cancel and go back to the DNS settings screen
7. Having entered the SSID, you must enter details of the encryption system used on your wireless network.
This should be the same as specified in your router settings. If your network does not use encryption,
then select the 'Open' option. Your radio should then connect to the network, so skip to step 11. If your
network uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) select the 'Pre-Shared Key' option then go to step 8.
The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) - see step 9.
8. If you chose 'Pre-Shared Key' in step 7, you should then choose the WEP option. The key should be
entered using only the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. The key will be 10 characters long for 64-bit
encryption and 26 characters long for 128-bit encryption. The radio will accept lower-case letters a-f
as equivalent to upper-case A-F. Spaces or special symbols are not permitted in WEP keys. Text entry
is by the same method as described above in step 6. See also 'Text entry' on page 9.
