The sound system is compatible with 802.11b, g, n or a networks and can use 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi frequency
bands.
If connecting using WiFi, the sound system will typically work within a 10-20 metre radius from your wireless router
or 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 sound system is able
to receive a suitable broadcast signal.
IMPORTANT: Before you continue, make sure that your router (or access point) is powered up and working with
your broadband Internet service (use your computer, smart-phone or tablet to verify this). To get this part of the
system working you must refer to the instructions supplied with those items.
