7Before you can use this productBefore 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 meter radius fromyour wireless access point. The actual range achieved will depend uponthe building type, other nearby wireless networks, and possibleinterference sources.IMPORTANT:Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access point orrouter is powered up and working with your broadband Internet service(use your computer to verify this). To get this part of the system workingyou must read the instructions supplied with the wireless access pointor router.20070830_WFR-20_381R101-A_GB.p65 2007/9/6, ¤U¤È 05:1610
8GBNavigation controls1. The majority of functions on your radio may be performed by using the Rotary control on the front panel. Turn the control clockwise or anti-clockwise to highlight the desired function, and then give a short press on the Rotary control to select that function. In this instruction booklet, press always means press and release. Where a long press is needed to perform an operation this is specifically stated in the text. When not being used for navigating the system menus, the rotary control simply acts as a conventional volume control. The rotary control also has an additional function. When listening to the radio, a long press of the control will provide access to a menu to allow adjustment of bass and treble settings.2. Your WFR-20 radio is supplied with a compact remote control. All functions can be performed using this. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. Use the Up and Down buttons in the group labeled MENU to highlight the desired function. Then press the Select button.3. If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back to the previous menu by pressing the Back button on the remote control. So that the radio can be used without the remote control, menus also include a Back option which takes the user to the previous menu. This can be accessed using the front panel Rotary control or via the remote control. In this instruction book the words ‘Back option’ refer to either of these methods.20070830_WFR-20_381R101-A_GB.p65 2007/9/6, ¤U¤È 05:1611

11Connecting your radio to your computer network1. Place your radio on a .at surface and plug the mains lead into the Mains input socket located on the rear of your radio (marked ‘AC in’) ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.2. If planning to use a wired network connect the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 socket at the back of the radio. If a wired connection is present then the radio will use this in preference to a wireless connection.3. Plug the other end of the mains lead into a wall socket and switch on the wall socket. IMPORTANT: The mains plug is used as the means of connecting the radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio from the mains completely, the mains plug should be removed from the mains socket outlet completely.4. The display on the front of the radio will light up and say: ‘Welcome to Internet Radio’. If you are using a wired Ethernet connection to your router, the radio should connect, and download a radio station list update. It will then go to the main mode menu, ‘After you have connected to your network’. If you are not using a wired connection, or if the wired connection is not working, after a few seconds the display will change to show ‘Scan for networks’. There are two indicator lights incorporated into the RJ-45 connector. If you have problems with your wired connection, they may help you to identify the possible cause of the problem. Green ON = Link established, Flashing = Data transfer Yellow ON = 100M bps link, OFF = 10M bps link20070830_WFR-20_381R101-A_GB.p65 2007/9/6, ¤U¤È 05:1614
12GBConnecting to a wireless network1. When the display says ‘Scan for networks’, press the Select control. The radio will now scan for all available wireless networks and will show ‘Scanning’.2. If the radio cannot find a network then the display will say ‘No Wireless Networks Found’. If this happens then you will have to get your wireless access point working - please see the instructions supplied with it.3. When the radio finds your wireless network, it displays the Network Name (ESSID) for the access point on the screen. This is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the network - for example: ‘My Home Network’.4. It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will find more than one wireless access point, in which case you should choose which one you need to connect to.5. Rotate the Select control to see the ESSID for each access point that the radio has found. If your network is shown proceed to step 7 on the next page.6. If your network is not found, it is possible that it is configured such that the ESSID is not broadcast (sometimes referred to as hidden). If this is the case then use the Back option and then select ‘Enter network name’. This procedure is described in the ‘Network Configuration Menu’, ‘Entering the network name manually’. If you know that your network name is not hidden, and it was not found, then either try re-scanning, or refer to ‘Troubleshooting’. If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back option to go back to the previous screen.20070830_WFR-20_381R101-A_GB.p65 2007/9/6, ¤U¤È 05:1615
13Connecting to a wireless network cont.7. When the ESSID for the access point you want to connect to is highlighted on the screen, press the Select control.8. If your network is not configured to need an encryption code, the screen should say ‘Connecting to network’, then ‘Network OK’. If this is the case then you have successfully connected your radio to your network, so please proceed to the section ‘After you have connected to your network’ on the next page.9. If the screen displays either ‘Enter WEP key’ or ‘Enter WPA key’, it is because the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You therefore need to enter the correct WEP or WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate with your network. If you do not have the WEP or WPA key, then you should obtain it from the person who set your network. Some Wi-Fi routers may come with a key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the user documentation provided with it. WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Some Wi-Fi access points can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these do not conform to a defined standard and are not supported. WPA keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters. Your Internet radio can accept pass-phrases for WPA keys. If the WEP or WPA key was previously entered and the radio has not had a factory reset the display will show ‘Using saved key’ and should then connect to the network.10. After 3 seconds, the display goes into the key entry mode. To enter the key, use the knob to select each character of the key in turn, pressing the Select control after each character. Remember, WEP keys only use the numbers 0 - 9 and letters A - F. WPA keys are sensitive to upper and lower case characters so you must enter them exactly.20070830_WFR-20_381R101-A_GB.p65 2007/9/6, ¤U¤È 05:1616
14GB11. If you make an error use either the Back key on the remote control to delete the character entered, or give a long press on the Select control. Use the left and right arrows to move the block cursor to access incorrectly entered characters.12. After the final character of the WEP or WPA key has been entered, locate the ‘END’ symbol and press the Select control. (The ‘END’ symbol is located between the punctuation symbols and the numbers 0 - 9.) The radio should now be able to connect to the network.After you have connected to your network1. Once connected to your radio to the network (and therefore also to the Internet) it will display the main Mode menu. This menu provides access to all major functions of the radio. There are also buttons on the remote control for each of the Mode menu options except for the Configure menu.2. Rotate the Select control until the ‘Off’ option is highlighted on the display.20070830_WFR-20_381R101-A_GB.p65 2007/9/6, ¤U¤È 05:1617
