Troubleshooting

The station has reached the maximum allowed 

• 

number of simultaneous listeners.
The station is no longer broadcasting.

• 

The link on the radio is out of date.

• 

The Internet connection between the server (often 

• 

located in a different country) and the radio is slow.

To confirm station status, try using a PC to access the sta-

tion via the broadcaster’s web site.
If you can play back the station with a PC, use the form at 

http://www.wifiRadio-frontier.com to notify us so that we 

can change the station data. Once this information has 

been updated, the radio should be able to connect.
