3. BEFORE USING THE RADIO
FINDING A SUITABLE LOCATION FOR THE
RADIO
After unpacking the radio from the box, take the following
guidelines into account when finding a suitable location
for the radio:
● Place the radio on a at, even surface such as a table.
● Do not place the radio near heat sources.
● Make sure there is sucient space available around the
radio for proper ventilation.
● If you are planning to connect the radio to your Wi-
Fi network, make sure to place the radio in a location
where Wi-Fi reception is good.
● Avoid placing the radio near appliances that can
interfere with Wi-Fi reception, such as microwaves.
INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE
CONTROL
The radio’s remote control requires two AAA batteries (not
included) to operate. To place the batteries:
1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the
remote control.
2. Insert two AAA batteries in the battery compartment with
polarities as shown in the diagram inside the battery
compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment again.
NAVIGATION AND TEXT INPUT
Before connecting the radio to the power supply and
configuring the radio, it is important to understand how to
navigate menus on the radio and how to input text in order
to ensure the radio can be set up and used smoothly.
NAVIGATING THE RADIO MENUS
The radio’s menus can be navigated using either a
combination of the Volume control (4) and Previous
(5) and Next (6) buttons on the radio itself or the arrow
buttons (d, e, p, and r) and Enter button (s) on the remote
control.
In horizontally displayed menus (such as the menus
that are displayed during the setup wizard and the main
menu), an item or submenu can be highlighted by either
rotating the Volume control (4) or pressing the Previous (5)
and Next (6) buttons on the radio or using the Left (e) and
Right (r) buttons on the remote and then pressing either
the Volume control (4) on the radio or the Enter button (s)
on the remote to confirm.
In vertically displayed menus (most other menus), the
Volume control (4) on the radio and Up (d) and Down (p)
buttons on the remote can be used to highlight an item,
while pressing the Volume control (4) on the radio or the
Enter button (s) on the remote can be used to confirm
your choice. The Previous button (5) on the radio and the
Left button (e) on the remote can now be used to go back
to the previous menu and the Next button (6) and Right
button (r) can be used to go to the next menu.
ENTERING CHARACTERS
In some cases, you will have to input characters on
the radio, for instance when connecting to a password
protected Wi-Fi network or when entering the date and
time. In this case, both the buttons on the radio and the
buttons on the remote control can be used as well.
When using the buttons on the radio, rotate the Volume
control (4) to select the desired character and when
it is displayed, press the Next button (6) to go to the
next character. The Previous button (5) can be used to
move the cursor back one step and delete the selected
character, while pressing the Volume control (3) confirms
the input.
When using the remote, characters can be input in the
same way, using the Up (d) and Down (p) buttons to
select the character, while the Left (e) and Right (r) are
used to go to previous or next character. The remote also
offers a faster alternative for inputting characters using
the numeric buttons (c), however. The table below shows
which numeric button corresponds to which characters.
Cycle through the characters by repeatedly pressing a
button. Confirm input by pressing the Enter button (s).

4. GETTING STARTED
CONNECTING THE AC POWER ADAPTER
The WFR-32 can be powered using the supplied power
adapter. Before connecting the AC power adapter to a
wall socket, please ensure that the voltage that the socket
supplies is within the supported range (100~240 Vac,
50/60Hz).
If the wall socket does supply a voltage that is within the
supported range, first connect the small plug of the power
cord to the DC IN socket (18) on the radio, then connect
the AC power adapter to the wall socket and turn on the
Power Switch (19) at the back of the radio.
INITIAL SETUP
After the radio has been supplied with power, it will
automatically turn on. “Sangean” will be shown on the
radio’s display (12) and a bar below this message will
indicate the progress of the startup process.
Once the radio has finished starting up, it will immediately
switch over to the initial setup process. During the initial
setup process, the startup wizard will guide you through
the configuration of the language of the on-screen menus
and the network configuration of the radio.

described previously in the
“NAVIGATION AND TEXT
INPUT” section in chapter 3. After selecting the desired
language, the radio will display all menus in the selected
language.

the main menu.
2. APP: This option will display a QR code that, when
scanned, takes you to a page with instructions on
how to install the AirMusic Control mobile app on your
Android or iOS device and how to then connect the
radio to your Wi-Fi network. Follow these instructions
to successfully connect the radio to your Wi-Fi network.
After the radio has been connected to the network, the
setup wizard has been completed and the radio will

3. WPS: If your router supports WPS (refer to the
instruction manual of your router), you can also use the
WPS feature to connect the radio to your Wi-Fi network.
After selecting WPS, press the WPS button on your
router within 120 seconds to establish a connection
between the 2 devices. Once the connection is
established, the setup wizard is now completed and the
radio will switch over to the main menu.
4. No: Select no if you do not want to connect the radio
to the Wi-Fi network at this point in time. When not
connected to a Wi-Fi network, the radio can still be
used to playback audio in both the Bluetooth and the
Aux in mode. In addition, the radio can be connected to
a Wi-Fi network at any time by using the menus on the
radio.
After finishing this step, the setup wizard is completed.

radio or the Power button (a) on the remote.
2. Select the Bluetooth option in the radio’s main menu to
switch to the Bluetooth mode.
3. Activate Bluetooth on your Bluetooth device (refer to the
manual of the Bluetooth device if you are unsure about
how to active Bluetooth).
4. Go to the Bluetooth list on your Bluetooth device
and select the device named “WFR-32” (if you
have changed the name of the radio in the radio’s
Configuration menu, search for the name you have
given the radio instead).
Note:
On some Bluetooth devices with Bluetooth version
2.1 or earlier, you might be requested to enter a pass
code. If this is the case, enter the pass code “0000”.
5. After the devices have paired and connected, a
confirmation tone will be played on the radio and the
white bar near the top of the radio’s display will show
the message “Bluetooth Connected”.
You can now play music on your Bluetooth device and
stream the music through the radio’s speaker.
Notes:
● If 2 Bluetooth devices are pairing for the rst time,
both must search for your radio, it will show its
availability on both devices. However, if one device
links with this unit first, then the other Bluetooth
device won’t nd it on the list.
● If you take your Bluetooth device out of range,
the connection between your device and the radio
will be temporarily disconnected. Your radio will
automatically reconnect if the Bluetooth device is
brought back into range. Be aware that during the
period of disconnection, no other Bluetooth device
can pair or link with your radio.
● If “WFR-32” shows up in your Bluetooth device list,
but your Bluetooth device cannot connect with it,
please delete the item from your list and pair the
Bluetooth device with the radio again following the
steps described previously.
● The effective operation range between the radio
and the paired Bluetooth device is approximately 10
meters (30 feet). Any obstacle between the system
and the device can reduce the operational range.
● Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary
depending on the connected Bluetooth device.
Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your
device before connecting it to your radio. Not all
features may be supported, depending on the
Bluetooth device used.
● With some mobile phones, making / receiving
calls, text messages, e-mails or any other activities
unrelated to audio streaming may mute the
Bluetooth audio streaming or even temporarily
disconnect from your device. Such behavior is
a function of the Bluetooth device and does not
indicate a problem with your WFR-32.
AUDIO PLAYBACK IN THE BLUETOOTH
MODE
When you have successfully connected your radio with
the chosen Bluetooth device you can start to play your
music using the controls on your connected Bluetooth
device.
1. Once playback has started, the display will show cover
art (if available), the connected Bluetooth device name,
the artist’s name, the track name, the album name and
the playback progress. repeatedly press the Next button
(6) on the radio or Right button (r) on the remote control
to zoom in on the cover art or view it in full screen.
2. Adjust the volume to the required setting using the
Volume control (4) on the radio, the Volume buttons (u)
on the remote control or on your Bluetooth device.

can be controlled using the remote control using the
Play / Pause (g), Next track (n), and Previous track
(h) buttons on the remote control or by pressing and
holding the Previous (5) and Next (6) buttons on the
radio to go to the previous or next track.
Note:
Not all player applications or devices may respond to
all of these controls.
AUDIO PLAYBACK FROM A PREVIOUSLY
PAIRED BLUETOOTH DEVICE
The WFR-32 can memorize up to 8 sets of paired
Bluetooth devices. Once more than 8 devices have been
connected, the earliest device with which the radio was
paired will be overwritten in the radio’s memory.
If your Bluetooth source device has previously paired with
the WFR-32 previously, the radio will still remember your
Bluetooth device and attempt to reconnect with the device
that was last connected. If the last connected Bluetooth
device is not available, the radio will try to connect to the
second last Bluetooth device.
DISCONNECTING YOUR BLUETOOTH
DEVICE
To disconnect your Bluetooth device, either turn off
Bluetooth on the Bluetooth device or switch to another
mode on the radio, for instance by tuning into an internet
radio station. If you disconnect the Bluetooth device
when the radio is in the Bluetooth mode, the white bar
near the top of the radio’s display will show “Bluetooth
Disconnected” and the radio will be available for pairing
again.
To connect to a different device, press the pair button on
the remote or apply a long press on the volume control on
the radio.
10. LISTENING TO MUSIC USING THE
AUX IN JACK
You can listen to the sound of an external device through
your WFR-32’s speaker. To do this, follow these steps.
1. Connect the external device (such as iPod, MP3 player
or CD player) to the radio’s Aux-in port (16) using a
3.5mm audio cable (not supplied).
2. Make sure both the radio and the external device are
turned on.
3. Select the AUX option in the radio’s main menu.
4. The audio output of the external device will now be
played through the speaker of your WFR-32. The
volume can be adjusted using the radio’s Volume
Control (4) or the Volume buttons (u) on the remote
control.
11. LISTENING TO MUSIC USING THE
HEADPHONE JACK
The WFR-32 is equipped with a Headphone jack (17)
on the back of the radio, which can be used to connect
a pair of headphones with a 3.5mm plug. To connect the
headphones, simply plug the 3.5mm jack into the socket.
The radio will then automatically detect that a pair of
headphones has been connected and it will disable its
internal speaker.
We recommend turning the volume down before
connecting the headphones and raising it slowly to a
suitable level after connecting the headphones to avoid
loud sounds and damaging your hearing.
Note:
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss. To prevent
possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume
levels for long periods of time.
