Before you can use this product Introduction
Before you can use your radio, you must have the following:
● A broadband Internet connection (not required for DAB, FM or Music
Player functions).
● A wireless access point (WiFi) or a wired Ethernet 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 radio to communicate with the network, or your
router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).
If connecting using WiFi, the radio will typically work within a 10-20 meter
radius from your wireless 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 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.
