But this condition maydiffer depending on the access point or wireless networkenvironments.Before you continue, make sure that your wireless accesspoint is powered up and connected to your broadbandInternet. To get this part of the system working, you mustread the instructions supplied with the wireless access point.• Steps for connecting your radio toyour wireless networkStep 1 Power up the radioPlug the cable from the mains adapter into the socketlabeled 7.5V DC on the back of the radio.CAUTION: Use only the mains adapter suppliedwith the radio. Connecting a power supply with adifferent rating will cause permanent damage tothe radio and may be hazardous.Note: if you would like to give your radio a static IPaddress then please see the ‘Network config’ sectionunder the ‘Configure’ section at the end of the guide.The display on the front of the radio will light up and say:After a few seconds, this will change to show:Step 2 Scan for a wireless network connectionWhen the display says <Scan for networks>, press theSELECT button.Note: if you make a mistake at any point, press theBACK button to go back to the previous screen.The radio will now scan for all available wirelessnetworks and will display:If the radio can’t find any wireless networks, the displaywill show:If this happens then you will have to get your wirelessaccess point working - see the instructions supplied with it.When the radio finds your wireless network, it displaysthe ESSID for the access point on the screen – this is aname that is allocated to the access point by the personwho set up the network - for example:It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, thatyour radio will find more than one wireless access point,in which case you can choose which one you want toconnect to. Turn the knob on the radio to see the ESSIDfor each access point the radio has found.Reciva RadioARM PoweredScanningNo Networks FoundScan For networksMy Home Networks

English9Getting startedStep 3 Connect to the wireless networkWhen the ESSID for the access point you want to connectto is displayed on the screen, press the SELECT button.If your network is not configured to need an encryptioncode, the screen should say:Then:If the screen displays either:Or Then the network is using one of the encryption systems:Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi ProtectedAccess (WPA). You therefore need to enter the correctWEP or WPA code into the radio to get it tocommunicate with your network.Only the person who set up the network in the first placeknows this code; if that person is not you then you needto find out what it is.After 3 seconds, the display goes into the code entrymode. To enter the code, use the knob to select eachcharacter of the code in turn, pressing the SELECTbutton after each character.

English26TroubleshootingIf you experience any trouble with your wireless Internet radio, first refer to the troubleshooting below. And then you mayfind it useful to visit the help section of the following: http://www.reciva.com if your questions remain unanswered.If you have trouble connecting the radio to your wireless network, these steps may help to resolve the problem:1. Confirm that your connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network.2. Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP address on the radio. You canconfigure a static IP address on the radio using the menu item ‘Configure ➞Network Config ➞Edit Config’, andthen select ‘No’ for ‘Auto (DHCP)’.3. Check that your network’s firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum, the radio needs access toUDP and TCP ports 80, 554, 1755, 5000, 6000 and 7070.4. Check your access point does not restrict connections to particular MAC addresses. You can view the radio’sMAC address using the menu item ‘Configure ➞Network Config ➞View Config ➞MAC address’.5. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct key or pass phrase into the radio.Remember that text-format keys are case sensitive. If, when attempting to connect to an encrypted network, yourradio displays: ‘Wireless error’ followed by a 5-digit number, then please ensure that you enter the correctpassphrase for the network. If the problem persists, then you may need to consult your network configuration.If your radio can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to play particular stations, it may be due to oneof the following causes:1. The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it may be located in a different time zone).2. The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.3. The station is not broadcasting anymore.4. The link on the radio is out of date.5. The Internet connection between the server (often located in a different country) and you is slow.Try using a PC to play back the stream via the broadcaster’s web site.If you can play back the station with a PC, use the form at http://www.reciva.com/ to notify us so that we can changethe station data that is used by the radio.If you are having trouble connecting to your Windows XP shared music folder, and you are using a username with nopassword, try adding a new user name with a password to Windows (Control Panel – User Accounts) specifically for theradio, and try to connect using that.
