WF900i- DAB+ Internet Radio with Docking for iPod/ iPhone
16
4 Internet Radio Mode
WF900i can play thousands of radio stations and podcasts from around
the world though a broadband Internet connection.
When you select Internet radio mode, WF900i contacts the Frontier
Silicon Internet radio portal to get a list of stations, organised into different
categories like Country, Most popular and Genre. Once you select a
station, WF900i connects directly to that station.
The portal also enables multiple lists of favourite stations that you can personalise, for example
Andy’s stations
,
Jo’s favourites
,
Talkshows
. To use the favourites feature, register your radio with the portal website as described
on page 14. If you have several Frontier Silicon radios, you can register them all on the same account so that
each radio has access to your favourites lists. It is possible to add favourites either directly through WF900i or
through any computer with a web browser.
To enter Internet Radio mode, either press Mode until the display shows
Internet Radio
or select Menu >
Main
menu > Internet Radio
.
Note: The station list menu is provided from the Internet radio portal, so it is only accessible when WF900i is
connected to the Internet. Station lists and submenus may change from time to time.
There are several ways of selecting stations.
Directly from the radio:
Last listened,
Presets.
From the portal through the Menu >
Station list >
menu:
Favourites lists,
Browse by Country, Genre, Most popular, Newest,
Search by keyword,
My added stations.
If you are already listening to an Internet radio station, you can press Back rather than Menu to quickly return to
the last visited branch of the menu tree. For example, suppose you were listening to
New Orleans Radio
through
the browse facility as described in section 4.4 below. Pressing Back would return you to the
Highlighted Blues
stations
menu. Pressing Back again would return you to the
Blues
menu, and so on.
4.1 Last Listened
When Internet radio mode restarts, the last-listened station is selected. To select another recently used station,

then one of the stations listed. Most recent stations appear at the top of the list.
4.2 Preset
Presets are stored in the radio and cannot be accessed from other radios.
To store an Internet radio preset, press and hold Preset until the display shows the

one of the 10 presets by turning the Tuning Knob and press the knob in order to save the currently playing
station to the preset list.
To select a preset, press Preset briefly, then select one of the listed preset stations. When a preset station is
playing, it shows P
n

Note: Operation of presets is identical for Internet radio, DAB and FM.
4.3 Favourites
Favourites are stored with the Internet radio portal, and are available through all Internet radios registered on the
same account. Before favourites can be used, the radio has to be registered with the Internet radio portal (see
