Before you can use your smart radio you must have the following:

• A broadband internet connection (not required for DAB, FM or music player functions).
• A router (or wireless access point) providing a WiFi signal, connected to your broadband internet service provider.
• A Smartphone or tablet which uses the Android operating system (version 4.0.3 or later) or Apple iOS (version 9 or later).
• If your wireless network requires a security password, then you will need to have this available during setup. The radios WiFi system is compatible with 802.11b, g, n or a networks and can use 2.4GHz or 5 GHz WiFi frequency bands.

Before you continue, make sure your router is powered up and working with your broadband internet service provider.

Other information

Battery operation

Please read the safety leaflet provided before using batteries.

Battery operation (Alkaline) **

1. Slide the battery cover located underneath the unit in the direction of the arrow and lift upwards.
   
2. Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to the Alkaline position (as shown) and insert six LR6 (AA size) alkaline batteries. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown on the battery compartment cover. Then replace the battery cover.
   
   when using alkaline batteries the battery switch must be placed in the alkaline position. Failure to do so could result in serious damage to the batteries or radio.

If no batteries are fitted then set the switch to the Alkaline position. This minimises the power consumption when the radio is powered from the mains.

Battery operation (Rechargeable) **

1. Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to the NiMH position (as shown).
   
2. Insert six identical Rechargeable LR6 (AA size) batteries. Then replace the cover. The radio is designed to be used with Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries. No other type of rechargeable battery should be used in the radio.
3. Plug the mains adaptor into your radio and then plug the adaptor into the mains. The battery indicator will flash green indicating the batteries are charging. The display will show the status of battery charging . The batteries will be fully charged in 5 - 7 hours. Under some conditions the charging indicator may switch off after flashing only briefly. This may happen if the batteries are already freshly charged, or if the radio detects that you may be attempting to recharge alkaline batteries. In these cases the charging will be stopped.
4. When charging is completed the charging indicator will show a steady green and a green 'Battery Full' indicator will be displayed. If the charge process stops after a short while this may be due to a faulty battery. In this case the charging indicator will show red and a red 'Battery Fail' indicator will be displayed. You can then press the Info button to show the individual battery status. The faulty battery will be marked with a red cross.

Note: Never mix alkaline and rechargeable batteries.

Note: You should never attempt to recharge alkaline batteries in the radio. Attempted recharging of alkaline batteries can be dangerous.

• 
  when using rechargeable batteries the battery switch must be placed in the NiMH position. Batteries will only be charged when the radio is switched off and connected to the AC adaptor.
• When the batteries are exhausted, the low battery indicator will show red for a short while. The radio will then switch itself off. It may not be possible to switch the radio back on until the batteries are recharged, or until the radio is connected to the mains adaptor.
• If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.

For further details on the use of rechargeable batteries please see full user guide on-line.

Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent type. Danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced.
