3. Getting started
Finding a suitable location for the radio
After unpacking the radio from the box, take the following
guidelines into account when finding a suitable location
for the radio:
●Place the radio on a flat, even surface such as a table.
●Do not place the radio near heat sources.
●Make sure there is sufficient space available around the
radio for proper ventilation.
●If you are planning to connect the radio to your Wi-
Fi network, make sure to place the radio in a location
where Wi-Fi reception is good.
●Avoid placing the radio near appliances that can
interfere with Wi-Fi reception, such as microwaves.
Preparing the remote control
The radio’s remote control requires two AAA batteries to
operate. To place the batteries:
1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the
remote control.
2. Insert two AAA batteries in the battery compartment with
polarities as shown in the diagram inside the battery
compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment again.
Connecting the radio to the mains power
supply
The WFT-4 can be powered using the supplied AC power
cord. Before connecting the plug of the AC power cord to
a wall socket, please ensure that the voltage that the wall
socket supplies is within the supported range printed at
the back of the radio (100-240 V ~ 50/60 Hz).
If this is the case, first connect the connector of the power
cord to the radio and then insert the plug of the power
cord into the wall socket.
Performing the radio’s initial setup
After your WFT-4 has been supplied with power for the
first time, it will automatically turn on. When the software
