Radio Preset Page (Optional for Advanced Users)

Advanced users can access the radio presets page with a computer or other devices such as a tablet or smartphone. The computer or device must be connected to the same WiFi network as the CC WiFi 3 radio. To Access the Radio Preset Page:

1. Open a web browser such as Chrome®, Safari®, Firefox®, or Edge®

2. In the address bar at the top of the screen, enter your radio’s IP address.
   a. To find the IP address, navigate on your radio to: Homer: Settings I:3 Information Network Information I:3 IP: *”
   a.i. Write down your radio’s IP address numbers and include the dots between the numbers. It should look something like this (example): 192.168.1.184
   Note: IP addresses are usually dynamic and likely to change every time your radio is restarted.

3. After entering your IP address into to address bar of your web browser, press enters on your keyboard. Loading this page may take a minute.

4. If successful, your web browser will navigate to the “My CC WiFi Radio 3 Presets” page. This page will contain your radios station preset list and information about each.
   ID: This is the preset number for your preset station. Example “Preset

   1”

   Channel Name : These are the names of your radio station presets.
   Channel URL : This will likely say something like “Channel URL is maintained by Skytune”… unless you have entered a custom URL for the station you desire.
   Play: Clicking this button will begin playing the station preset through your CC WiFi Radio 3
   Edit: Clicking this button will allow you to change the Station name to anything you desire. Example “Bob’s Rock Station”. This new name will only show up on your radio.
   Delete: Clicking this button will remove the station as a preset.
   Move: This allows you to change the order of your preset listings. Enter the preset number that you wish to move in the first “ID” box, then enter the destination number in the next box (named “To ID”). Lastly, press the move button to complete the move.
   Previous/Next : If you have many presets then they will be separated into pages. Use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate pages.

Radio Preset Page (Optional for Advanced Users)

– Add Channel: Warning, this is for advanced users. But, if you desire a station that is not found on the CC WiFi Radio 3, and you know the exact “Stream URL” of this station, then it can be added in this area. Keep in mind that your radio will only play the correct “Stream URL” and not just any web address that works on your computer. Computers are designed differently in this aspect.
Tip: Stream URLs are not easy to find. They are usually hidden and will usually look something like this: “http://live.*******.com:2470/live43.m3u” Notice that the correct URL will usually end with .m3U or .mp3 or something similar.
Tip: Here is another way to look for a Stream URL. (This does not always work, but is a good attempt)

1. Try searching with Google Chrome for your desired station name (Example: KMUD) followed by “Stream URL”.
2. Select the Google result that looks best (usually the top result).
3. If the page result gives you a link to play the station, then try right-clicking on the link, then select “Inspect”.
4. The highlighted result in the code may contain the Stream URL that you are looking for. Write down a portion of the result that has the blue underline (or copy with your computer) starting with “http”.
5. Try adding the station URL to the “Add Channel” area of the Radio Presets Page. You do not need to enter exact information for Channel name, Country, or Genre. Only the Channel URL needs to be exact with the Station URL that you have found.
6. Click “Save” and then try playing it from your radio presets.
   Note: Some stations use JavaScript or some other method to play stations and do not have a listed MP3 or M3U station stream. These stations will be impossible to play on the radio. As a last resort, you can attempt to find the stream URL by contacting the station and asking them if they have an “MP3” or “M3U” URL station stream so that you can play it on your device.

For Future Reference: The CC WiFi Radio 3 uses Skytune as the main directory for looking up and playing stations. If for some reason in the future the Skytune radio service is not available or cannot connect to your radio, you have the ability to continue listening to your preset stations. To add new stations to your preset list, you will need to enter the stream URL into the Radio Preset Page via a computer, tablet, or smartphone. This is a good feature to remember and will hopefully give peace of mind knowing that the CC WiFi Radio 3 is not fully dependent on the success of the Skytune radio service.

Display Brightness
The radio will detect when any button or control is used, and it will make your screen brighter for 20 seconds to help you navigate the menus. This setting is called “First 20 seconds” and can be increased to the level you desire. If no buttons are used within 20 seconds, then the radio will revert to regular brightness or “After 20 seconds” brightness. Both settings can be changed to your desired brightness level.

EQ
This setting allows you to control the way your radio sounds from the Speaker, headphones, and the Line-out jack. There are several different preset combinations, or you can choose to customize your sound using the “Advanced” option.

Buffer Time
Before a station is played, the radio takes a few seconds to record ahead of the audio stream. This is called buffering and it keeps the station playing smoothly, even if there are tiny breaks in the audio stream. If the buffering time is increased then the station should play longer without problems, but there will be extra time for the station to begin playing. For most high- quality stations longer buffering is not needed.

Information
This section contains network and system information such as the radio’s current IP Address, WiFi Network Name (SSID), WiFi signal strength percentage, and hardware (MAC) address. You can also find the radio model and firmware version in this area.

Software Update
Check here to see if your radio software is up to date. Most software updates will be automatic when the radio is started but if you are experiencing problems then it is always good to check for software updates. Reset to default Restore your radio programming to the way it was when you first received it. A reset to default will erase your WiFi password and network information, your preset stations, and any custom settings that you have made since receiving the radio. In some cases, this may correct a lasting problem that is not cured by unplugging the power briefly.

About Your Network Name (SSID) : This is the name that was assigned to your wireless router by the person who set it up. Alternatively, your router’s network name (SSID) may be printed on your router (usually on the back or bottom label). After scanning for your wireless network on the radio, rotate the dial through all the results. You may recognize your network name (SSID). If your router’s manufacturer name or your internet service provider name is displayed, try selecting it.

About your Wireless Security Key
About Your Wireless Security key (password) : This can also be called “WPA key” or “Encryption key” and is used to keep unwanted “guests” from your wireless network. If you are unaware of what your password is, you can follow our suggested steps for finding it:

1. Check the label on the back or bottom of your router.
2. Search your records for a document that was printed out after your router was setup by the technician or user. This document should contain the Wireless password.
3. If your wireless network has been renamed and password changed to something unknown, then it is possible to reset your router. You may need to call the manufacturer of the router or your Internet service provider for more assistance.

Having Trouble Connecting to a Wireless Network : This problem can be caused by several possible scenarios.

1. Double-check the wireless password entry. The password must be exact including upper case, lower case, and special characters.
2. Make sure that you do not accidentally add extra spaces or characters to the end.
3. Passwords are usually 8 – 26 characters. It is very unusual to see passwords with fewer than 8 characters.
4. You may have received an error number. See our “Error Messages Explained” below for more info.

Error Messages Explained

Error #1: The radio could not connect to the router for some reason. Always try again, this may have been a glitch. 90% of the time this error is caused by entering the wrong WiFi password. Another cause could be related to DHCP not being enabled on your router. Most routers come with DHCP enabled. For static IP networks, the radio can be set up manually as an option in network settings.

Error Messages Explained

If you have enabled MAC filtering on your router then the radio will not be allowed to connect until the MAC address is allowed. There may be some incompatibility with the radio and your router’s encryption method that it is currently using. If all else fails, try changing your router’s encryption to “WPA2 PSK AES only”. Unplug your radio for 10 seconds and try again.
Error #2: There has been a glitch with the WiFi chip inside your radio. Unplug your radio for 10 seconds and try again. Contact C. Crane customer support for further assistance.
Error #3: After scanning for nearby WiFi networks, no networks are found.
– Sometimes your wireless network will not show on the first scan. Try scanning for networks again on your radio. You must have access to nearby WiFi to operate the radio (except in Bluetooth mode).
– You may be out of range from your WiFi router. As a test, move closer to the WiFi router that you are attempting to connect to.
– Check your WiFi router, it must be powered on and ready. Be sure that the “power and “wireless” LED lights are on. If they are not on, you may need to call the manufacturer of the router for more assistance.
– Try unplugging the power to your router and then wait 2 minutes before trying to connect with the radio again.
– Your WiFi router may not be broadcasting on the 2.4 GHz band therefore it is not showing up in the list. Most new routers have dual-band. Please make sure that the 2.4 GHz band is enabled.
– There is a setting on your WiFi router called “Enable SSID Broadcast”. This is usually enabled by default on most routers. This must be enabled. You may need to call the manufacturer of the router for more assistance.
– Unplug your radio for 10 seconds and try again.
Error #4: The radio has connected to the WiFi signal but cannot access the Internet.
– You may be connecting to a public network (like a hotel or RV park) that requires web browser authentication per device. Since the radio does not have a web browser you may need to speak with the hotel technical staff about allowing the radio to connect.
– Make sure the WiFi network that you are connected to has working internet. Try connecting to the same WiFi network with another device such as a smartphone or tablet and browse the internet as a test. If the Internet is working, then you can rule out this as the problem. If you have saved preset stations, then try playing one. If the station does not play, then you can furthermore assume that the router does not have Internet. If the station does play, then there may be a temporary problem with the radio station server. Wait sometime before browsing the radio for new stations. Unplug your radio for 10 seconds and try again.
Error #5 : The Internet and WiFi is working but the Skytune station’s list is not responding making it impossible to browse for new stations. You should however have access to your saved radio station presets. Wait a few minutes and try again later. This problem should not last long. After a few unsuccessful tries, the radio will offer a backup list of saved stations. Unplug your radio for 10 seconds and try again.
Error #6 & 7: The radio failed to authenticate with the Skytune server. There may be maintenance underway. Wait a few minutes and try again later. This problem should not last long. Unplug your radio for 10 seconds and try again.
Error #8 : The radio tried to upgrade its firmware (user interface) programming but could not download it to the radio. Wait a few minutes and try again later. This problem should not last long. Unplug your radio for 10 seconds and try again.
Error #9: The radio downloaded the new firmware (user interface) programming but could not install it to the radio. Wait a few minutes and try again later. This problem should not last long. Unplug your radio for 10 seconds and try again. There may be some incompatibility regarding the firmware and your radio. Recommend contacting C. Crane customer support for assistance.

Having Trouble Playing a Radio Station :

1. If you tried playing several radio stations but none are working, the radio may have lost connection to your router or internet connection. Unplug the radio’s power cord momentarily and reconnect.
2. The radio is “buffering” and constantly reconnecting to a particular station:
   a. Try moving the radio closer to the router
   b. The station may be overloaded with connected listeners. Try other stations to test if they are working properly.
   c. The station may have changed its streaming information. If using a preset to play the station, you may want to try searching for the station again using the Search function. If the station plays, then you can re-assign the station to your preset.
   d. If the above does not help, please contact C. Crane.

Having Trouble Finding a Particular Radio Station
Having Trouble Finding a Particular Radio Station: If you are unable to find a radio station using the radio search functionality then you can visit www.skytune.net to search it. It is possible to add stations to your radio from this website (by clicking the “heart” icon next to the search results). You will need to know your radio’s IP address. This can be found in your radio’s settings (Settings 1:::: Information 1::: Network information E:1 IP).

Note: Your computer, smartphone, or tablet that you are using needs to be connected via WiFi to the same WiFi network router as your radio for this to work. Adding a New Station to Skytune: If you are a “non-technical” person there is an easy way to request a station to be added to the Skytunes radio service. It may take several days for Skytune to add the new station to the radio. There may also be a chance that the station does not have a normal radio stream URL or one that is not compatible to be played on the radio. Some station stream URLs will only work with computers.

1. Visit www.skytune.net
2. Click on “Suggest Station” (usually located on the top-right of the screen)
3. Enter the station information. You do not need to have all the details, but more details help.
4. Click the “Send” button.
