to allow its internal software to be updated using your Internet connection. You should not attempt to update your
radio unless it is recommended to you by Roberts Customer Services. Updating the software may remove all
network settings, radio station presets and alarm settings from your radio. It is important that you do not attempt
this procedure unless you have a good Internet connection and a reliable mains power supply. The radio connects
to your router using a WiFi connection, make sure that this is also reliable before proceeding.
