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) connection 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 congured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) data encryption then
you either need to know the WEP, WPA or WPA2 key used for encryption
so you can get the internet radio to communicate with the network, or
your router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).
If connecting using WiFi, the internet radio will typically work within a
10-20 metre radio from your wireless access point. The actual range
achieved will depend upon the building type, other nearby wireless
network, and possible interference sources. DAB and FM radio
functions can operate wherever the internet 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.
Battery operation
Battery operation using alkaline batteries
1. Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit by pressing the catch.
Note:
Before you insert the batteries, if you use non-rechargeable batteries,
make sure the NiMH/Alkaline switch which located inside the battery
compartment is switched to Alkaline position. If you use rechargeable
batteries, make sure to switch NiMH/Alkaline switch to NiMH position.
2. Insert six UM-2 (C size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.
3. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with correct polarity as
shown on the rear cabinet. Replace the battery cover.
4. Reduced power, distortion and a “stuttering sound” are all signs that
the batteries need replacing.
5. 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.
IMPORTANT:
The batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine,
re or the like.

Using the AC power adaptor
The AC power adaptor required for this unit should be 12 volts DC at 1A
center pin positve.
Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket on the left side of the radio.
Plug the adaptor into a standard mains socket outlet.
Whenever the adaptor is used, the batteries are automatically
disconnected. The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the main
supply when not in use.

Slide the battery switch to the NiHM position.
Insert 6 UM-2 batteries into spaces in the compartment. Make
sure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown on
the rear cabinet. The radio is also designed to be used with NiMH
rechargeable batteries.
Note:
Do not use a mix of old and new rechargeable batteries.
Do not use a mix of full and empty rechargeable batteries.
Do not use batteries that have a different mAh capacity
Do not use damaged or leaking batteries
Make sure the radio is switched off and connected to the AC adaptor.
When the charge indicator flashes yellow indicating batteries are
charging. Batteries will be fully charged in around 10 hours. The battery
shows steady yellow light when the battery charging is complete.
Note:
Duration for charging your battery fully can be varied according to
the mAh capacity of a battery. Higher mAh batteries required longer
charging time.
Important:
Under some conditions the charging LED indicator may switch off
after flashing briefly. This may happen if the batteries are already
freshly charged, or if the radio detects that you may be attempting
to recharge alkaline batteries or mixed different types or capacity of
rechargeable battery. In these cases the charging will be stopped.

Navigation controls
This page describes the basic means of controlling your WFR-29C internet radio.
Instructions for each operating mode are given in the later section of this book.
1. Pressing the Standby button brings your radio out of Standby mode. Pressing Standby while
the radio is in use will cause it to return to the Standby mode with the clock display.
2. Pressing the Mode button gives you access to each of the operating modes: Internet Radio,
DAB+ radio, Music player, FM radio and Auxiliary Input.
3. Pressing the Menu button will access the menu system, whereas the Info button allows the
display of information relating to the radio station or music le being played.
4. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. Highlight the menu item
using the Tuning Control Rotary on the right side of the radio. Press the Tuning Control Rotary
to select that item. If there are more than ve items in a menu, then the display will automatically
scroll up or down so that the additional items become visible. If there are many items in a menu,
then the 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 Back button.

Configuration
Connecting your radio to your computer network
1. Place your radio on a flat surface and plug the mains lead into the mains socket located on the
left side of your radio ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.
2. Plug the other end of the mains lead into the wall socket and switch on the wall socket.
IMPORTANT: The mains plug 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 completely, the mains plug should be removed
from the mains socket outlet completely.
3. When you apply power, the display on the radio will light up and say: 'SANGEAN'. The first
time that you use your radio (or after Factory Reset) the display will show “Setup wizard” and
“YES”will be highlighted on the screen. Press the Tuning Control Rotary to start the setup
wizard. The screen will ask if you wish to run the setup wizard again at the next start up. This
will lead to the main menu.
4. Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary on the right hand side ofthe unit to highlight the desired
clock format (either 12 or 24 hour) then press the Tuning Control Rotary 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.

Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary to choose an auto-update option for the clock. This can
be updated from DAB or FM radio, from the Network, or not updated. The default is to auto
update from the network. If you choose any other option, go to step 8. Otherwise you will rst
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 the section of ‘Manually
setting the clock’). Press the Tuning Control Rotary to conrm your choice.
Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary to highlight the time zone which is applicable to your
location. Press the Tuning Control Rotary to enter the setting.
You will then need to set the Daylight Savings option according to your location (Daylight
Savings is also known as Summer/Winter time ). Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary to
highlight “YES” to turn on daylight savings if required or ‘NO’ if you do not wish to use daylight
savings then press the Tuning Control Rotary to conrm the setting.
You will then need to set 'Keep network connected.' By default, your radio will shut down its
WiFi connection when it is in standby. This minimizes power consumption but it does mean
that you will need to switch that 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 rotate the Tuning Control Rotary to highlight
'YES' to activate this function or 'NO' to deactivate this function. you can also choose to keep
the network connected by using the ‘Keep connected’ option in the network setting menu.
In the standby mode display either the WiFi signal indicator is shown with or without a cross
through it according to the chosen network settings.
The display will then show a list of WiFi regional options for the network set up. Rotate the
Tuning Control Rotary to highlight the required region and then press the Tuning Control
Rotary to select it. Your radio will then scan for available WiFi networks.
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.

You will rst 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 nds your wireless network, it displays the Network Name (SSID) for the wi-
reless 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 Proteced Setup, then ‘[WPS]’ will be shown in front of the SSID.
It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will nd more than one wire-
less network, in which case you should choose which one you need to connect to.
Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary to see the SSID for each wireless network that has been
found. If your network is shown proceed to step 14. If it is not shown then proceed to step 12.
If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back button to go back to the previous screen.
If your network is not found, it may be because the router is congured not to broadcast the
SSID. You should then use the Tuning Control Rotary to highlight and select the ‘[Manual
cong]’ option in order to enter the network details manually. This is described in ‘Manual
Network Conguration”. 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.
When the SSID for the wireless network you wish to connect to is highlighted on the screen,
press the Tuning Control Rotary. If WiFi Pretected 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 identication number).
‘Push Button’ – the display prompts you to press the WPS button on your router and then the
Select button on the radio. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent
automatically to the radio.
‘PIN’ – the display shows an identication number which you must enter into your router
using a web browser (refer to your router’s user documentation). You should then press the
Select button on the radio.
‘Skip WPS’ – if you wish to enter the encryption key yourself (or if it was previously Entered).
If you choose Push Button or PIN the screen will then show ‘Connecting…’ and then ‘Setup
wizard completed’. Press the Tuning Control Rotary to exit setup wizard.

If your network is congured without an encryption key, the screen should say ‘Connecting…’,
and then ‘Setup wizard completed’. Press the Tuning Control Rotary to exit the setup wi-
zard and show the main menu. If this is the case then you have successfully connected your
radio to your network.
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. 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.
To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters are selected and entered using the Tuning
Control Rotary. 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 Control Rotary. Do this as needed until the complete key has been entered. Re-
member, WEP keys only use the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F. WPA keys are sensitive to up-
per 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 Up or Down and
Select buttons as needed:
select ‘ ’ to erase a character just entered
select ‘ ’ when the complete key has been entered
select ‘ ’ to cancel an 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 selec-
ting the ‘ ’ symbol. This will remove the ‘[Set]’ indication.
After the nal character of the WEP or WPA key has been entered, highlight the ‘ ’ symbol
and press the Tuning Control Rotary. Then screen will show ‘Connecting…’ and then ‘Setup
wizard completed’. Press the Tuning Control Rotary to exit setup wizard. The radio should
now be able to connect to the network.

18. Once you have connected your radio to the network (and therefore also to the Internet) it will
display the main menu. Press the Tuning Control Rotary to put the radio in Standby mode.
It should then display the time as obtained from the Internet. If the time display is not correct
for any reason, it can easily be adjusted later, see ‘Manually setting the clock’. If you have fol-
lowed 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.
Note:
To save the radio power consumption while your radio is powered with battery, the radio will
turn off fully when put into standby mode. As a result, if you switch off your radio when it is
power supplied with battery, next time when your radio is switched on, the time on the screen
will be reset and show as ‘00:00’. However, as soon as the radio connects with WiFi, the time
will update automatically from the network.

Changing the network connection
In the sections above, you chose how your radio would be connected to your network, using a
WiFi connection. From time to time, you may nd 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 congure the network parameters.
The steps outlined below describe how you can do this –see also the section ‘Network Proles’.
Conguring the radio to use an alternative WiFi connection
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 Control Rotary to the desired
network name. Press Tuning Control Rotary 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. By default the radio will then acquire an IP address
and other network settings from your router using DHCP.
Manual network conguration
If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic conguration, or if your network is congured 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 is not recommended as a
means of network security.)
1. From the radio Network settings menu, select ‘Manual settings’. You must then choose to connect
using ‘Wireless’ connections. Entering this option, 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 in order to set up the wireless connection details.
If you chose ‘DHCP disable’ for either connection method, the next step is to set up the IP address.

The manually specied 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 devi-
ces and static (manually congured) IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall
outside the range that the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the rst three groups
of digits will be the same for all devices on your network. To enter the IP address, rotate the
Tuning Control Rotary to set the value for each group of digits and then press the Tuning
Control Rotary 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 denes 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.
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.
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 Control Rotary to set the value for each group of digits and then
press the Tuning Control Rotary to enter the value and to move on to the next group. Repeat
this until all eight groups of digits have been entered.
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 Control Rotary 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 Control Rotary. Do this as needed until the complete
network name has been entered. The SSID setting is sensitive to upper and lower case cha-
racters 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:
select ‘ ’ to erase a character just entered
select ‘ ’ when the complete SSID has been entered
select ‘ ’ to cancel and go back to the DNS settings screen
Having entered the SSID, you must enter details of the encryption system used on your wi-
reless network. This should be the same as specied 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.

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 charac-
ters 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.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions:
select ‘ ’ to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info 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.
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 specied, and the rou-
ter will use whichever variant is supported by the connected device. AES is regarded as the
more secure option if it is available.
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. The
three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions. You can access
these by rotating the Tuning Control Rotary and then press the Tuning Control Rotary to
select as you needed:
select ‘ ’ to erase a character just entered (long press to clear ); Info 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.
While the radio is trying to connect to the network, it will display ‘Processing…’ when chec-
king 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 connec-
ted, 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 Back and Mode buttons to access the
functions of your radio.

Network remote control options
Network Pin setup (Pin number)
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 else’s.
Details of how this feature can be used with your iPhone or iPod touch are explained in a separate
sheet called 'The App for controlling your Sangean internet radio'.

Internet Radio
Internet Radio – the basics
Before you can use your radio to listen to broadcasts via the Internet, it is necessary to have
connected it to your computer network using the wireless (WiFi) connection.
There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via the internet as well ‘Podcasts’.
Your radio provides several ways of searching for broadcasts in order to make finding and
choosing them easier. Once you have found radio stations which you like, you may either store
them as presets within the radio, or add them to a list of your favorite stations which your radio
can access. The number of presets is limited (there are ve presets in the radio), but you can
store as many favorites as you like.
You may search for an internet radio station by Location. If you know the name of the station and
the country from which a station is broadcast this may be the easiest method to nd a station. It
is also a great way to experience radio from other parts of the world.
You may also search for an internet radio station by Genre. If you prefer a particular type of
music, Blues for example, you may search for a radio station that broadcasts that type of music,
and you can choose from a list of Blues radio stations regardless of location, or taking location
into account.
If you know part of the name of an internet radio station, you can enter it into the radio and it will
search for stations that match that name. This can be helpful if you are unsure of the location or
genre of a particular station.
The WFR-29C radio connects to a radio station database which serves many users in many
countries. This means that there is a very wide range of program content available. You can also
search for stations which have been recently added to those available (new stations) or you can
search for the most popular.

Tuning Control Rotary to highlight the internet radio mode display. Press the Tuning Control

Press the Menu button to enter the main Internet radio menu. Rotate the Tuning Control
Rotary until ‘Station list’ is highlighted on the display and then press the Tuning Control
Rotary to select the option.
Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary until ‘Stations’ is highlighted on the display and then press
the Tuning Control Rotary. Note that the menu may offer one or more local selections based
upon the country in which the unit is being used, according to your internet IP address (‘United
Kingdom’and ‘BBC’ stations, for example).
Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary until ‘Location’ is highlighted on the display and then press
the Tuning Control Rotary to select.
Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary to scroll through the list of continents. When the desired
continent is highlighted press the Tuning Control Rotary to enter your selection.
The display will show a list of countries within the chosen continent. If there are many
countries shown you can scroll through the list continually in either direction. For example, if
the chosen continent was Europe, then to nd the United Kingdom scroll up from the top of the
list to the bottom by rotating the Tuning Control Rotary. Press the Tuning Control Rotary to
choose the desired country.
You will typically find that you then have the option to select either ‘All Stations’ or one of

8. Rotate the Tuning Control Rotary to highlight your chosen radio station and then press the
Tuning Control Rotary to enter your selection. The display will show ‘Connecting…’ while the
radio connects to the new station. The station should then start playing. Adjust the volume as
needed.
9. If the station has on-demand content, that is, it gives the option of listening to programs which
have already been broadcast or to Podcasts, there will be an additional screen showing the
radio station name as well as a ‘Podcasts’ option. These are selected using additional menus,
determined by the radio station and the content. There may simply be a list of programs, or
there may also be options to choose from broadcasts on particular dates or days of the week.
The examples shown here are typical. Podcasts and Listen Again content can also be accessed
separately from the main Internet Radio menu.
If your radio cannot connect to a radio station
Note:
If your radio is unable to connect to an internet radio station it will generally either display ‘Network
Error’ or ‘Stopped’. This can be for many reasons, but typically will be due to one of the following:
● The radio station may not be broadcasting at the present time.
● The radio station may not be able to accommodate any more connections from internet listeners.
● The broadcaster may limit listening to specic countries or regions.
● There may be network congestion (either locally or at a distance) which is affecting the reliability
of the connection.
If your radio can connect, but the audio is not continuous and the radio keeps having to
reconnect, this may be due to the radio station only having limited connection capacity.
