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 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 is configured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) or WiFi ProtectedAccess (WPA/WPA2) data encryption 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 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.
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 Stream 105 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) is explained.
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 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 Stream 105 is used via 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 use of the radio, but between 15 and 20 hours
should be possible.
To install batteries in your radio follow these steps.
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by sliding the cover
in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert six LR14 (C size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity
as shown next to the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
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 C size NiMH cells have a capacity which is
only a fraction of that of C 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 Stream 105 internet radio.
Detailed instructions for each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.
1. Pressing the On/Off button brings your internet radio out of the Standby mode if
running from the mains or switches it on if using batteries.
Pressing the On/Off button 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. Press and release the Mode button to give you access to each of the operating
modes in turn: Internet Radio, Music Player and Auxiliary Input.
3. Press and release the Menu/Back button to access the menu system. Press and
hold to return to the main mode menu or press repeatedly to step back a menu
at a time.
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. If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back
to a higher level menu by pressing the Menu/Back button.
6. The Tuning/Select control also allows the display of information relating to the
radio station or music file being played.

Volume control
1. When the radio display is playing a track and in the play mode screen,
the Volume control can be rotated clockwise to increase the volume
and anti-clockwise to decrease volume.
2. If your radio is displaying a menu screen you will need to return to
the play mode screen to adjust the volume level. A long press of the
Menu/Back button will take you to the main menu and then a short
press will access the play mode screen. You will then be able to adjust
the volume level.
Text entry
There are several occasions when you may need to enter text characters
into your radio. For example, when setting up the WiFi connection, or
when searching for artists or albums. When entering text you can use the
Tuning/Select control alone or in conjunction with the Preset button. The
rotary control allows you to choose from all of the available characters.
1. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight each character as needed
and press the control to enter each character into the radio.
2. The Preset button allows quick access to the Backspace control. You
can then use the Tuning/Select control to access the OK and Cancel
options. Press the Preset button again to go back to the character
selection.

Connecting your radio to your computer network
1. Place your radio on a flat surface and plug the cable from the mains
adaptor into the DC input socket located at the rear of your radio
(marked 'DC') ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.
2. Plug the mains adaptor into a wall socket and switch on the socket.
IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting
the radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio
must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the
radio from the mains, the mains adaptor should be removed from the
mains socket outlet completely.
3. When you apply power, the display on the radio will light up and say:
'ROBERTS' and 'STARTING' with a progress indicator. The first time
that you use your radio (or after a Factory Reset) the display will show
'Setup wizard' and 'YES' will be highlighted on the screen. Press the
Tuning/Select control to start the setup wizard. You will then have a
choice to set the clock to use the 12 or 24 hour format.
You are recommended to run the setup wizard, but if you do not wish
to then rotate the Tuning/Select control until 'NO' is highlighted on
the display then press the control. This will lead to the main menu.
4. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight the desired clock format
(either 12 or 24 hour) then press the control to enter your selection.
A menu allowing you to specify the auto update option for the clock
will appear on the display. The default of 'Update from Network' will
be the best option for most users.

5. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to choose the auto-update option for
the clock. This can be updated from the Network, or not updated. The
default is to auto update from the network. If you choose 'No update',
go to step 8. Otherwise you will first need to select the correct time
zone and daylight savings setting, see steps 6 and 7. If you choose
'No update' you will need to set the clock manually later, see page 51.
Press the control to confirm your choice.
6. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight the time zone which is
applicable to your location. Press the control to enter the setting.
7. You will then need to set the Daylight Savings option according to your
location (Daylight Savings is also known as Summer/Winter time or
BST/GMT adjustment).
Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight 'YES' to turn on daylight
savings if required or 'NO' if you do not wish to use daylight savings
then press the control to confirm the setting.
In the UK, 'ON' is equivalent to British Summer Time and 'OFF' is
equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time.
8. The display will then show a list of WiFi regional options for the network
set up (for the UK choose 'Most of Europe'). Rotate the Tuning/Select
control to highlight the required region and then press the control to
select it. Your radio will then scan for available WiFi networks.
9. The radio will enter the Network Settings Wizard and will display
'Scanning...'. After a short while the display will show a list of the
available WiFi networks.

10. 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.
It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will
find more than one wireless network, in which case you should choose
which one you need to connect to.
11. 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
13 on the next page. If it is not shown then proceed to step 12.
If you make a mistake at any point, use the Menu/Back button to go
back to the previous screen.
12. 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 16.
If your network name is being broadcast, and it was not found, then
try re-scanning (press the Menu/Back button), and if necessary try
moving your radio to a location closer to your access point / router.

13. 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
14.
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 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).
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 17 on the next page.
14. 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 17
on the next page.
15. 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.

If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on 020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri) 14
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. WPA
keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters.
Your radio accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.
16. 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 Preset 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 WPA key 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.
17. Once connected to the network 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 51, 'Manually
setting the clock'. The clock display will switch off after 30 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 20 onwards.
Note: The clock display when 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
30 seconds and the radio will shut down completely in order to minimise battery usage. The clock will be
reset to the current time the next time that you switch on the radio.
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 65.
If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to page 20.
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 13-14). By default the radio
will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.

If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on 020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri) 16
Configuration
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 17 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.

17
Manual network configuration - cont.
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 Preset button and then use the Tuning/Select control as needed:
select ' ' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Preset 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.

Configuration
Manual network configuration - cont.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions. You can quickly access
these by pressing the preset button and then use the Tuning/Select control as needed:
select ' ' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); preset again to continue
select ' ' when the complete encryption key has been entered
select ' ' to cancel and go back to the SSID settings screen
Once the key is entered the radio should connect to your network. Please skip to step 11.
9. WPA and WPA2 are similar, although WPA2 offers a higher level of security. Whichever you selected
in step 7, you then have to specify the variant used. They are TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). As previously, the setting should match that used by your
router. Some routers allow both to be specified, and the router will use whichever variant is supported
by the connected device. AES is regarded as the more secure option if it is available.
10. The radio will then require you to enter the encryption key. This must be a string of between 8 and
63 characters and must be identical to the key which has been entered into your router. Note - the
encryption key is sensitive to the use of upper and lower case letters and symbols. Take care to enter
the key exactly, or the radio will not be able to connect to your router. See also 'Text Entry' on page 9.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions. You can quickly access
these by pressing the Preset button and then use the Tuning/Select control as needed:
select ' ' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Preset again to continue
select ' ' when the complete encryption key has been entered
select ' ' to cancel and go back to the TKIP / AES options screen
Once the key is entered the radio should connect to the network.
11. While the radio is trying to connect to the network, it will display 'Processing...' when checking the
encryption key and then 'Connecting...'. If the connection is made successfully, the radio will return to
the Network settings menu. If the unit cannot connect, then it will display a 'Failed to connect' message
and will return to the SSID entry screen (step 6).
Once connected, the network settings are stored in the radio. The settings are retained when the radio
is disconnected from the mains.
You may now use the Menu/Back and Mode buttons to access the functions of your internet radio.

Your radio has the option of being controlled by an application installed
on an Apple iPhone, iPod touch or iPod. The Pin number facility allows
you to ensure that your radio can only be controlled by your own Apple
device rather than someone elses.
Details of how this feature can be used are explained in the documentation
for this application, available from the Roberts Radio Website.
Keep network connected
By default, your radio will shut down its WiFi connection when the radio is
in standby. This minimises power consumption but it does mean that you
will need to switch the radio on manually in order to use either the 'Play
to' function or any other remote control software.
If you need to be able to remotely control the radio even when it has been
put into standby, then you can choose to keep the network connected by
using the 'Keep connected' option in the network settings menu.The WiFi
signal indicator is shown with or without a cross through it in the standby
display according to the chosen setting.
