Connecting to your computer network - cont.

If you have followed the steps on the preceding pages successfully, your radio will have connected to your router, and then made a connection to the Internet and set its clock. If this is the case, then you can try listening to radio stations via the Internet as described on page 20 onwards.

Note: The clock display when in Standby mode is only maintained when the radio is powered from the mains. If you are powering the radio from batteries, then the clock display will be switched off after about 30 seconds and the radio will shut down completely in order to minimise battery usage. The clock will be reset to the current time the next time that you switch on the radio.

Changing the network connection

From time to time, you may find that you need to connect to different computer networks. The Internet setup menu allows you to change your radio’s network settings, scan for an alternative wireless network, or to manually configure the network parameters.

The steps outlined below describe how you can do this - see also the section 'Network profiles' on page 65. If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to page 20.

Configuring the radio to use an alternative WiFi connection

1.From the Network settings menu select 'Network wizard'. This will present you with details of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list using the Tuning/Select control to the desired network name. Press the control to select this network.

The radio will then use its WiFi system to communicate with the network. Depending on the settings for the new network you may need to enter an encryption key (see pages 13-14). By default the radio will then acquire an IP address and other network settings from your router using DHCP.
