Podcasts Mode
Pinell north can play thousands of podcasts from around the world
through a Wi-Fi connection.
When you select Podcast mode, Pinell north contacts the Frontier
Smart Technologies Podcast portal to get a list of available
podcasts. Once you select a podcast, Pinell north connects directly
to that podcast source.
To enter Podcast mode, press MODE to cycle through the listening
modes until Podcasts is displayed.
The first time Podcast mode is selected (or no previous Podcast service has been selected), the user is
taken directly to the Podcast list menu to find and select a service.
If the Podcast portal server is unavailable, Pinell north defaults to the last listened Playable URL for
Podcasts, or the URL stored in a preset if playing from a preset
Podcasts menu

Presents a list of (up to) the last ten Podcasts that have been selected.
Podcast list
If no previous Podcast service has been selected, the Podcast menu is automatically presented to find and
select an Podcast service.
The podcast list is provided from the Podcast portal, so it is only accessible when Pinell north is connected
to the Internet. Podcast lists and submenus may change from time to time.
The Podcast list is organized into various categories and search facilities:
• <Local area> - dependent on radio device’s location, for example: UK
• Search
• Location
• Discover
<Local area> - dependent on radio device’s location, for example: UK
Presents a sub-menu for local area stations. The names and types of categories are dependent on local
network information, for example a radio located in the UK would have a main title ‘UK’ and present a sub-
menu to search for podcasts using a variety of categories, for example, Comedy of the week, Books and
Authors, Popular, etc.
Choose the required category and either a further list of sub-categories is shown, or (if there are no further
sub-categories) the available podcasts for the chosen category are listed.
