WF900i- DAB+ Internet Radio with Docking for iPod/ iPhone 3 Getting started/ setup Although the WF900i is sophisticated, getting started is simple. To play DAB or FM radio, all you need is a power source (a 100-240 V mains supply).

For more information on setting up a WPS encrypted network, see your WPS router‟s instructions. Completion WF900i tries to connect to the selected network. If connecting fails, WF900i returns to a previous screen to try again. If the network connection is lost, WF900i automatically tries to reconnect.
Network WF900i remembers the last four wireless networks it has connected to, and automatically tries to connect to whichever one of them it can find. You can see the list of registered networks through Menu > System settings > Network > Network profile >.
Setting up a music server In order for WF900i to play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share files or media. UPnP media sharing allows devices like WF900i to play music from a shared media library, navigating through tag menus such as Artist, Album or Genre.
