Before you can use this product

Before you can use your Internet radio, you must have the following:

● A broadband Internet connection.

● A wireless access point (Wi-Fi) or a wired Ethernet connection (10 or

100 Mbits/sec with RJ45 connection) connected to your broadband

Internet, 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 configured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy

(WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption then you

need to know the WEP or WPA key so you can get the Internet radio

to communicate with the network.

The Internet radio will typically work within a 10-20 metre radius from your

wireless access point. The actual range achieved will depend upon the

building type, other nearby wireless networks, and possible interference

sources.

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.
