IMPORTANT: the first time you connect this internet radio to AC outlet, this unit will
automatically set the time zone to Zone 2 which is the initial default setting. If you do not live in
this time zone, you must change the default zone display to your own zone. You only do this
one time and the unit will remember the new default zone.

● The 'active' state is when the unit is “ON”.
● 'Standby' is the state when the radio has been turned off.
2. Rotate the knob to highlight the desired menu mode and press SELECT.
3. The radio will now display the current backlight value for this menu mode. You can alter this
value by rotating the knob to increase or decrease it.
<WiFi Strength>
The strength of the WiFi signal will be displayed. Strength should be over 60% for stable
streaming. Relocate this radio or re-orient the wireless router, or buy a wireless booster if
necessary.
