WaveCAST App with FM +
The WaveCAST app, which is used for both FM + and WaveCAST systems, allows listeners to hear the audio on their personal,
Wi-Fi connected devices, such as a mobile phone. The WaveCAST App can be downloaded from Google Play for Android devices
or the Apple App Store for IOS devices.
The app will only detect audio sent over Wi-Fi, not any FM broadcasts.
Connecting the App to the Channel
When the app is opened for the first time, a list of channels will be available. Tap on the channel to hear its audio.
If a list of channels does not appear, check that the personal device has Wi-Fi enabled and is connected to the same Wi-Fi
network as the FM +. If the phone settings seem correct, troubleshoot the network connection of the FM + itself.
Listening via the App
Once connected to the channel, the audio should start playing automatically. The volume of the audio can be adjusted using the
slider in the middle of the screen, or the physical buttons on your device.
To mute the audio, tap the speaker icon. Tap it again to unmute the audio.
To switch channels, tap the menu icon on the bottom of the screen to display the list of channels again.
WaveCAST Receiver
The WaveCAST Receiver (WF R1) is available for customers who do not want to use their personal device for listening to Wi-Fi
Audio. The receiver is a dedicated listening device with the WaveCAST app available on it. The WaveCAST Receiver will work
with the Wi-Fi features of the FM +.
For more information on our Wi-Fi receiver, visit williamsav.com for product specifications, manuals and more.
NOTE: Wi-Fi receivers may be required to meet national and international requirements for device minimums when using Wi-Fi
audio for assistive listening. Personal devices typically cannot be counted in meeting device requirements; receivers must
be available on request. Please check your location's legal requirements to see if you need a Wi-Fi Receiver.
FM Receivers can be used to meet the requirements if FM audio is being broadcast.
FM Receivers
Williams Sound has a variety of receivers that will work with the FM features of the FM + System. Available receiver models
include:
