Troubleshooting

Read the following Q&As for troubleshooting guide. If these do

not give you answers, you may contact us directly at the contact

information provided on this manual’s inside cover.

The display shows that a music station is being played, but I

cannot hear anything.

Some stations may not have 24-hour broadcasts. You cannot hear

anything If the stations do not send out any programs.

Why is it that I cannot hear anything from the speaker?

• Either your ASUS Internet Radio is muted or the volume is so

low that you cannot hear anything. Turn up the volume or

press the Mute button to cancel the muted mode. If you

are using additional speakers, make sure that the connected

speaker system is powered on.

• If the above steps make no difference, reboot the device.

What can I do if my ASUS Internet Radio crashes?

Press the power switch on the rear panel to turn off the device,

and then switch it on again.

I have set the alarm but it did not set off.

The alarm will not set off while you are connecting to a station.

The wireless connection is not stable.

• Establish a wired connection to test if your network is reliable.

• If the wired connection is more stable than the wireless one,

use the LAN connection instead.

Why does the list of online radio stations change?

English

The addresses of the Internet radio stations may vary, so ASUS

technicians update them regularly. Your ASUS Internet Radio will

obtain the latest list automatically as long as it is connected to

the network. Your device functions as usual while the update is

proceeding (1–2 minutes).

I cannot connect to certain radio stations.

The accessibility to online radio stations vary with the network

bandwidth in different countries. Failed connections may be due

to the following:

• The network bandwidth in the country you want to connect

to is narrow. We recommend an ADSL/Cable Modem

bandwidth of at least 1M bps.

• Internet congestion.

• The radio stations do not provide enough bandwidth.

• The radio stations are under repair or no longer exist.

If you still cannot connect to some radio stations, contact us at
