Go to www.slacker.com/install to download and
install the required software.*
Once installed, you’ll need to enter the Slacker
Portable ID into your account so we can refresh your
stations. To locate the ID on your Slacker Portable, go
to the Main Menu and select Settings>About.
On the Desktop Radio, select Options>Account>Manage
Account and sign in. Look for the Slacker Portable
section, click Edit, enter your Portable ID, and then
click Save.
Your Slacker Portable occasionally needs to refresh your stations to ensure you have the latest music. There are two
ways to refresh your stations:
After installing the Desktop Radio, connect your Slacker
Portable to your PC with the USB cable. This will enable you
to refresh your stations and charge your Portable at the same
time. This is also how you will be able to transfer songs from
the Desktop Radio library to your Slacker Portable.**
You can refresh your stations anywhere using built-in Wi-Fi.
Simply press Connect on the Main Menu and follow the
on-screen instructions.***
If you need help with the Slacker service or Slacker
