The 

System settings menu

 allows access to system 

settings and information such as network, time, language 
and software update. 

Menus with more options than will fit on one screen have a 
scroll bar to the right. 

 

The 

Main menu

 allows access to all modes  

plus sleep and timer functions. 

(note; Last FM and Pandora only available in the US) 

 

   

 

 

Some menus, for example the 

System settings menu

, have several submenus. 

  

3. Getting started/setup 

Although the Argon Radio3i 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 Music Player mode, you need a wireless network and a UPnP music server (e.g. a PC). 

For Internet-connected modes such as Internet radio, you also need a broadband Internet connection. 

To set up the Radio3i: 

1.  Place Radio3i on a suitable shelf or table 

2.  Connect the power adaptor between Radio3i and the mains supply. 

3.  To receive broadcast radio (DAB and FM), extend the telescopic antenna. 

The setup wizard starts. 

 
3.1 Setup wizard 

When Radio3i is started for the first time, it runs through a setup 
wizard to configure settings for date/time and network. Once this 
has finished, the system is ready to use in most modes.  

Note: To change these settings later, select 

 Menu  > 

System 

settings >. To run the setup wizard again, select 

 Menu  > 

System settings > Setup wizard

 

Select 

Yes

 to start the setup wizard. 

If you choose 

No

, the next screen asks if you would like to run 

the wizard next time Radio3i is started. The system then starts 
without configuring time/date and network settings and enters 
the Main Menu. 

Note: If power is removed while the wizard is in progress, the 
wizard will run again next time Radio3i is started. 

 

3.1.1 12/24 hour display 

To change between 12 and 24 hour display, select 

Set 12/24 hour

 and then select your preference. 

 

3.1.2 Time/date 

The time and date can be updated manually or automatically. With auto-update, the time and date are 
automatically synchronised with external clocks. Auto-update is generally more accurate.
