hama 00054850 DIR150BT Digital Radio - Getting started

7.2 connecting and operating the radio

Warning

  • Only operate the product from an approved socket that is connected to the public power supply. The socket must be installed close to the product and must be easily accessible.
  •  Disconnect the product from the power supply using the On/Off switch – if this is not available, unplug the power cord from the socket.
  •  If using a multi-socket power strip, make sure that the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed the power strip’s maximum throughput rating.
  • If you will not be using the product for a prolonged period, disconnect it from mains power.
  • Connect the network cable to a properly installed and easily accessible network socket.
  • The power supply unit is suitable for mains voltages between 100 and 240 V, and is thus operable on almost any AC power grid. Please note that a country-specific adapter may be necessary.
  • You can find an appropriate selection of Hama products at www.hama.com.

hama 00054850 DIR150BT Digital Radio - Getting
started1

Once the product has been connected to mains power, initialisation takes place.
The radio starts up.
7.3 Prepare the network connection/Internet connection
You can integrate this radio into a local network. To receive internet radio or access non-local media (streaming, such as Spotify Connect), the network must be connected to the internet.
Note
The LAN connection is less susceptible to faults than a WLAN connection. That´s why it´s recommended to use a wired connection between access point (AP) and radio to ensure an undisturbed reception.

7.4 LAN connection (wired network)

  • Connect an RJ45 LAN cable to a free socket on your router / switch / AP.
  • Connect the other end of the LAN cable to the radio’s LAN socket (RJ45).
  • Ensure the router is switched on, is functioning correctly and that there is a connection to the internet/ network.
  • Follow your router´s operating instructions as regards the correct functioning of the WLAN connection.
  • A detailed description of how to configure the LAN connection is given in the cable connection DHCP active section.

hama 00054850 DIR150BT Digital Radio - Getting
started2

7.5 WlAN/Wi-Fi connection (wireless network)

  • Ensure the router is switched on, is functioning correctly and that there is a connection to the internet/network.
  • Activate the WLAN function of your router if it is not already activated.
  • Follow your router´s operating instructions as regards the correct functioning of the WLAN connection.
  • A detailed description of how to configure the WLAN connection is given in the 20.1.1 Network wizard section.

hama 00054850 DIR150BT Digital Radio - Getting
started3

Once the radio has been initialised for the first time, switch it on using the button (Power button) if required to start the product setup process. Below, the relevant steps are explained in brief. Further information can be found in the relevant detailed sections.

8.1 control options
Please see the operating concept for information on the radio’s general operation.
The radio can be used with the following control options:

  1.  Control elements on the device
  2. The enclosed remote control
  3. The free UNDOK app for Android and iOS devices

8.2 language selection
Once the initial start-up procedure is complete, you can choose your preferred system language.
Please note that some parts of the interface are synchronised over the Internet and it may be that some sections are not available in your chosen language.

8.3 Setup wizard
We recommend using the setup wizard for quick and easy firsttime setup (setting of the time, date, Internet connection, etc.).
If you skip the setup wizard’s help with first-time setup, you can of course still make these settings via the System settings or reinitiate the setup wizard.

Note on operation
To select between the various settings options, use the control elements explained in the operating concept. These allow you to navigate between the menu items and subsequently confirm your selection. If you have accidentally made an incorrect selection, you can return to the previous menu item.
8.4 Time settings
The radio allows the time to be displayed in 12-hour (am/pm) or 24-hour format. The time can be calibrated using the various reception methods (VHF/DAB/DAB+/Internet), enabling the current time to be synchronised automatically in the event of a power cut. If you disable synchronisation, there is the risk that the time information will need to be repopulated manually after a power cut.
8.5 Keep network connected
This setting is a radio energy-saving function. If the function is switched off, the network function automatically switches to standby mode in order to reduce energy consumption. This means that, when the network function is disabled, the radio cannot be accessed from your PC, smartphone or tablet.
8.6 Network wizard
Using the network wizard will help you connect the radio to the local network or Internet.
Note – Reference to a different part of these operating instructions
Because this chapter is extensive, please follow the directions in section 20.1.1 Network wizard.
Once the network wizard has finished,the setup wizard is finished as well.
8.7 Managing favourites
Please see the operating concept for information on how to store content for the relevant mode in a storage space and retrieve it. The following storage spaces are available for the reception methods supported:

Digital radio DAB+ 30

DAB radio

This radio receives all common digital radio frequencies in the range of 174 MHz to 240 MHz (band III, channels 5A to 13F). The automatic DAB station search starts automatically when DAB mode is started for the first time. As soon as this has been completed, the current station list is displayed.
By calling up the corresponding DAB settings menu, you can access the following settings options and functions.
10.1 Station list
The station list offers a complete display of all radio stations that were found during the last complete search.
Navigate to the desired station you want to call up and confirm this selection. The radio will now start playing the corresponding station.
10.2 full scan
If the location of the radio changes or if new stations can be received, it is advisable to perform the station search again. The entire frequency range is searched again and the station list is updated.
10.3 Delete inactive stations
Select “Delete inactive stations”to remove stations from the station list that are currently no longer available.
10.4 DRc – Dynamic Range control
Some DAB network radio stations support a volume control feature that actively takes effect during playback. If the volume suddenly increases, DRC automatically lowers it. If the volume suddenly becomes quieter, DRC automatically raises it. The same happens when playback is suddenly quiet. The radio then increases the volume again.

DRC high| Total equalisation of different volumes. Strong compression, can audibly reduce the dynamics of a piece of music
---|---
DRC low| Partial equalisation of different volumes. More subtle compression, without too much loss of dynamics
DRC off| No equalisation

10.5 Station sequence
By default the radio sorts stations into alphabetical order. You can also sort by signal strength or  ensemble. If sorting by ensemble is selected, the stations are sorted according to the corresponding frequency block on which the respective ensemble is broadcast. These are often frequency blocks which are broadcast locally, regionally or nationally.

Note

  • If the snooze function is activated, you can make separate settings for the display under Screen settings – Display illumination.
  • This allows the brightness, for example, to be reduced.

18.2 Alarm clock
The radio has two individually adjustable alarm times. Alarm 1 and alarm 2 are configured in the same way.
Configuration

Network & Audio

The Network & Audio section contains all the settings options for the radio’s connectivity and audio settings. These may include the Internet connection, Bluetooth® receiver/transmitter (depending on the product) and equaliser.
20.1 Internet settings
This menu contains all of the available settings to connect the radio to a wired (RJ45/Ethernet) or wireless network (WLAN 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz).

Note

  •  Numerous settings can be made conveniently via the app! With the free UNDOK app, you can set up the network connection via your smartphone or tablet.
  • More information is available in the free UNDOK guide from Hama.

20.1.1 Network wizard

  • The network wizard guides you through setting up the radio’s network and Internet connection.
  • Immediately after starting the network wizard, all available connection points in the vicinity are searched for that can be used via the available WiFi frequency bands.
  • After the scanning process is complete, the search results are shown on the display and you can choose from the WLAN networks found.
  • Alternatively, restart the search using the “New search” function or you can connect the radio by cable if it has a corresponding port.

20.1.2 connecting to a WlAN
Depending on the WLAN network, there are a number of ways to establish the connection to it.
The radio supports open (unsecure!) networks, WPA/WPA2 networks with password /pre-shared key and configuration via WPS (WiFi Protected Setup). Networks that support connection via WPS are identified in the list by the prefix “WPS”.
On the following screen, depending on the network, you have the choice between setting up by “pressing the button” via Push Button Configuration (PBC) and entering a “PIN” and “Skip WPS”. If you try to connect to an open WLAN, i.e. without the corresponding security settings, the connection is established immediately after selection.
Note
Setup via WPS by pressing a button is explained in the WPS setup section.

20.1.3 Pre-Shared Key (PSK)
If you have selected “Skip WPS”, you will be taken to the input mask for the pre-shared key (PSK), i.e. the password for the WLAN you are trying to connect to. Navigate between the letters (lowercase/ uppercase), numbers and special characters to enter your password in the input mask.

hama 00054850 DIR150BT Digital Radio - Timer1

Once the entry has been confirmed, the radio continues to try and connect. If this is successful, the radio confirms this with “connection established” in the display.

Note

  • If the connection fails, this may be because the wrong password was entered.
  • Check the configuration of your access point (for example, the router configuration).
  • When entering the key, pay attention to uppercase / lowercase letters.

20.1.4 PIN

  • If you want to carry out the configuration using a PIN, select the menu item “PIN” .
  • The radio now generates a key consisting of eight numbers.
  • Open the configuration interface of your access point and enter the key in the corresponding input mask and start the connection establishment routine on the access point and the radio.
  • Both devices now establish the connection.

Note
Often, the access point’s input mask is located in the “Wireless/WlAN/Wifi” area – check the router or repeater’s operating instructions if necessary.

20.1.5 WPS setup

  • If this menu item is selected or if you want to establish a connection by pressing a button via the network wizard, the radio display shows “Press WPS button on remote station” after selecting this function.
  • Depending on the access point used, a physical button (WPS) is often available or the connection process can be started via the configuration interface.
  • Once the process has been started on the access point, please confirm the process on the radio as well.
  •  The connection will now be established automatically.

Note
If necessary, check the operating instructions of the router or repeater used.

The radio automatically saves all successful network connections (profiles). This means that reestablishing these connections (for example, after the radio was disconnected from the power supply) does not require you to re-enter the network access information.
To remove individual network profiles, select the corresponding network profile and confirm the selection and subsequent prompt with “YES”.
Note
A profile that is currently active cannot be deleted.

Delete Internet settings
All previously saved configurations are deleted after confirmation.

connection3
Note
If the setup wizard is used for the first time or is restarted without a network connection set up, the wizard is supplemented with the “Network wizard” and the selection of the system language.
22.2.2 Time synchronisation
When this option is selected, the time and date are synchronised automatically from a radio source.
You can select an available radio receiver as the source. If you do not want automatic synchronisation, select “Do not update”.
Note
If there is a power cut, the radio will request the current time from the selected source and adopt it.
Note
If automatic time synchronisation via the radio signal is selected, the adjustment of the time zone and the manual adjustment of summer and winter time are deactivated and are no longer visible.
22.2.3 Time display
You can choose between the display formats of 24 or 12 hours (am/pm) and adjust this at any time.
22.2.4 Setting the time zone
You can freely choose between the available time zones of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and use time zones from -12 hours to +14 hours. For relevant time zones, metropolises and cities are listed after the time zone adjustment.
22.2.5 Summer / winter time
If synchronisation via the Internet has been selected or you want to adjust the manually set time because of the time change, you can activate summer time (YES) or winter time (NO) with this function.
22.3 Language
This menu allows you to change the radio’s system language.
22.4 Auto standby
The radio regularly switches to standby mode after 15 minutes without playback in order to save power. Occasionally, there may be problems with playback via a jack connection because the transmitted signal is too weak and the radio mistakenly assumes there is no active playback. To remedy this, you can deactivate automatic standby by confirming the query with “NO”.
22.5 Software update
We are constantly developing improvements and new features for our radios to fix problems, add functionality, etc. We recommend that you keep your radio’s software up to date.

  •  Select Auto-Updates (YES) to allow the radio to automatically check for new software updates on a regular basis. (Recommendation)
  • Choose Check now to manually start a check for software updates.

22.6 factory settings
This function allows you to reset your radio to the factory settings on the software side. Confirm the prompt with “yeS” to start the process.

Note
Resetting to the factory default settings can remedy some problems and malfunctions.
However, all settings made previously, such as equaliser presets, station presets and network profiles, will be permanently deleted.
