Do I need a broadband internet connection?
Yes, you do. The AE Wi-Fi radio accesses internet radio stations
through a wireless link (802.11b or 802.11g) to your existing Wi-Fi
enabled broadband connection.
Does my PC have to be switched on?
Not necessarily. If you have a broadband router with built-in Wi-Fi,
you do not need to turn your PC on to receive internet radio on the
AE Wi-Fi radio. The AE Wi-Fi radio connects directly to the internet
without the use of a browser.
Will it work with my Apple Mac computer?
Yes. The AE Wi-Fi radio also works with Apple's Airport Wi-Fi
connection to seamlessly link to the internet. The AE Wi-Fi radio will
also stream and play music stored as mp3 files on your Mac.
What if the Wi-Fi network in encrypted for security?
If the AE Wi-Fi Radio detects an encrypted Wi-Fi network it simply
asks you to enter the WEP key on the keypad before it accesses
the internet. It will not connect to an encrypted network without
the key.
Are there any subscription costs?
No. Any content from any radio station that is free on the internet is
free to access on your AE Wi-Fi radio. Future 'subscription-based'
internet radio services will be available on a pre-pay or pay-per-
access basis as they come on-line.
What about interactive services?
The AE Wi-Fi radio is fully equipped with a 'Reply' key to respond
to internet radio station competitions, adverts or opinion polls - as
and when they become available.
Can I access music stored on my PC as well?
Yes. The AE Wi-Fi radio also acts as a media adapter allowing you
to sort, access and play audio content stored on your PC in MP3,
WMA or Real Audio media files.
Can I use headphones or connect it to my hi-fi system?
Yes on both counts. The AE Wi-Fi radio has a 3.5mm stereo jack
for headphones or connection to an AEGO M system with a
standard 3.5mm jack-to-RCA audio cable.
