Follow the instructions in this chapter to get your WFR-39
up and running in no time.
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 flat, even surface such as a table.
● Do not place the radio near heat sources.
● Make sure there is sufficient 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.
Powering the radio
The WFR-39 can be powered using the radio's internal
Lithium-ion battery or by connecting a USB power source
to the radio's DC IN socket.
Operation on USB power
To use the radio on USB power, connect the supplied
USB cable to the radio's DC IN socket and a USB power
source supplying 5V / 2.4A while the radio is turned off.
After connecting the cable, the radio will automatically turn
on and the Battery charging indicator will light up green
to indicate that the radio's battery is being charged. Press
the Power button to switch the radio to the Standby mode.
The radio will power off by disconnecting the radio from
the USB power source when radio is in standby mode.
Operation on battery power
To use the radio on battery power, disconnect the USB
cable, make sure the battery is charged and then press
and hold the Power button. To turn off the radio, press the
Power button. The radio's Battery charging indicator will
light up red when the radio is low on battery. At this point
the USB cable needs to be connected to recharge the
internal Lithium-ion battery.
Note:
Reduced power, distortion and a "stuttering sound"
or a red battery charging indicator are all signs that the
batteries need to be replaced or recharged. Instructions
on recharging the batteries can be found below.
Charging the unit
The WFR-39 features a built-in Lithium-ion battery that
can be recharged by either using a USB charging port or
a USB power adapter (not included) with a rated output of
DC 5V / 2.4A.
The first time you use your WFR-39, connect it to a USB
charging port or USB power adapter and fully charge the
battery. While the battery is being charged, the Battery
charging indicator will be solid green. After the battery is
fully charged, the green Battery charging indicator will turn
off.
Note:
You can start using your WFR-39 while charging. In
this case, please make sure that the USB power source
provides 5V / 2.4A of electrical current. Otherwise, it may
damage the USB power source.
1.
Connect the supplied USB cable to the radio's DC IN
socket and a USB power source supplying 5V / 2.4A.
2.
When the battery is charging, the Battery charging
indicator will be solid green.
When the indicator turns off, the battery is fully charged,
and charging is stopped.
Note:
When the radio is not connected to a USB power source,
the battery charging indicator will turn red to indicate the
radio's battery is low. Connect the radio to a USB power
source to charge it.
If the battery charging indicator turns red while the radio is
connected to a USB power source, this indicates that an
error is detected.
Performing the radio's initial setup
After the radio has been supplied with power, it will
automatically turn on. "SANGEAN" will be displayed on
the radio's display and a bar below this text 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.
Setting the menu language

Conguring the network connection
When configuring the network connection, the first
question the setup wizard will ask is whether you want it
to check for network connections when your turn the radio
on. There are two options here:
1.
[Yes]:
The radio will automatically scan for Wi-Fi
networks when it is turned on and it is not or cannot
connect to networks it has previously connected to.
2.
[No]:
The radio will not automatically scan for Wi-Fi
networks when it is turned on and is not already connected
to a network that it has previously connected to. In this
case, you will have to connect to a network manually using
the radio's menu.
Next, the wizard will ask if you want to configure the
network now. There are four options to choose from here:
(1)
[Yes]:
The radio will scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks.
After scanning has completed, select your network
from the list using the Up, Down and Select button
and then enter the password using the Up and
Down buttons to select a character, the Left and
Right buttons to go to the previous or next character
and Select to confirm the input. After entering the
password, the radio will connect to the network. The
setup wizard has now been completed and the radio
will switch over to 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 switch over to the
main menu.
(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 play FM and DAB radio. 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.
The radio's time and date will automatically be set if you
have connected to a Wi-Fi network, your radio is now
ready for use.
Turning the radio on / off
When the WFR-39 is turned off, simply connect it to
a USB power source to turn it on. While the radio is
connected to a USB power source, press the Power
button to switch it to the Standby mode or disconnect it
from the USB power source to turn off the radio.
To use the radio on battery power, make sure the radio is
disconnected from the USB power source and press and
hold the Power button to turn on the radio. To turn off the
radio, press the Power button.
Note:
When the radio is turned on, the radio's boot up
process and connecting to a Wi-Fi network can take a
short period of time. After the radio has connected to a
Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon on the radio's display will
indicate the strength of the wireless connection.
Navigating the radio menus
The radio's menus can be navigated using the Up, Down,
Left, Right and Select buttons.
In horizontally displayed menus (such as the main menu
and the menus that are displayed during the setup
wizard), an item or submenu can be highlighted by
pressing the Left or Right button and then pressing the
Select button to confirm.
In vertically displayed menus (most other menus), the Up
and Down buttons can be used to highlight an item, while
pressing the Select button it can be used to confirm your
choice. The Left button can now be used to go back to the
previous menu and the Right button can be used to go to
the next menu.
In cases where text or numbers need to be inputted, the
Up and Down buttons can be used to select the required
character, while the Left and Right buttons can be used to
go to the previous of next character respectively.
Controlling the radio using the AirMusic
Control app
The AirMusic Control app connects the WFR-39 to your
phone through a Wi-Fi network and allows you to control
the radio from the palm of your hand. The app features an
intuitive user interface, facilitates text input and allows you
to control most of the radio features.
AirMusic Control is available for both Android and iOS and
can be downloaded from Google Play or the App Store.
Note:
In order to use the AirMusic Control app, your phone
and radio must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
When using USB power and the DAB / FM service
following function is off, or when the device is powered
by battery, the Wi-Fi connection will be terminated when
switching to FM or DAB mode on the radio to optimize
reception. The AirMusic control app will also be disabled
from controlling the radio.
4. The configuration menu
After completing the setup wizard and setting the location,
in most cases there is no need to go back into the radio’s
configuration menu.
If you would like to change the location, time, the options
that are displayed in the main menu or other settings,
you can access the configuration menu and customize all
settings to your liking.

Audio playback via UPnP server
The WFR-39 also support playback from files hosted on
a UPnP server. In most cases, computers will be used as
UPnP servers. The most common and most convenient
UPnP server application is Windows Media Player (version
10 or later), as Windows is the most popular operating
system for home computers and Windows Media Player is
built into the Windows operating system.
Setting up a UPnP server and playing audio
using Windows Media Player
Follow these steps to set up a UPnP server using
Windows Media Player (version 10 or later):
1.
Turn on your PC and make sure it is connected to the
same network as your WFR-39.
2.
Make sure the WFR-39 is turned on as well and the
[UPnP]
item is selected in the
[Media Center]
menu.
3.
Add the music files, and folders that you want to share
with the radio to your Windows Media Player library by
clicking
Organize
>
Manage libraries
>
Music
on the
computer.
4.
Click on the
Add…
button in the window that appears
on the computer to add folders and / or files and click
on the OK button after adding all your files and folders
to your music library.
5.
After completing setting up your music library, click
on
Stream
>
Turn on media streaming…
on the
computer.
WFR-39
11
GB
6.
After turning on media streaming, a new window will
appear in which you can configure which devices
have access to the media library. Make sure the radio
("WFR-39" in the screenshot below) is allowed access
to the media library and click
OK
on the computer.
7.
The radio will now be able to browse through the
media library shared on the PC. Simply select the file
or playlist that you want to play on the radio to enjoy
your PC's music library through your radio's speaker.
8.
When you first set up sharing with a UPnP server,
not all of your files will be available immediately. The
UPnP server must look inside each file to identify the
artist and album information from 'tags' embedded
in them. The server may also need time to access
the Internet to obtain additional information such as
'album art', which it can display when you examine
your music library on your PC. For a library of many
files this can take some time.
If the display shows "empty", please leave the UPnP
mode first, wait 3 to 5 minutes for the device to search
for files on the UPnP server, and then enter the UPnP
mode again.
9.
After playback has started, the display will show the
"Now Playing" screen with cover art (if available),
the artist’s name, the title name, the album name,
the composer’s name and the playback progress.
Repeatedly press on the Right button to zoom in on
the cover art or view it in full screen.
10.
Playback can be controlled by pressing the Select
button to play / pause playback, pressing the Down
button or pressing and holding the Right button to
go to the next track and pressing the Up button or
pressing and holding the Left button to go to the
previous track.
Casting music to the radio
Windows Media Player also allows users to cast music to
the radio. This can be convenient when you are working
on your PC and want to play songs through the radio's
speaker without having to actually control the radio.
Follow these steps to cast songs to the WFR-39:
1.
Make sure all steps from the previous section have
been followed, that the radio is still in the UPnP mode
and that both the PC and the radio are still connected to
the same network.
2.
Go to your music library in Windows Media Player and
right click on a song, album, genre, or playlist and then
select Cast to > WFR-39.
3.
The song (s) will now be cast to the radio and
automatically played through the radio's speaker.
Note:
Some Windows security software can prevent
correct operation of the 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' function.
Such software may have updates or configuration options
which will permit 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' to operate
correctly - please consult your anti-virus software supplier.
Using UPnP server on Mac or Linux
Although this manual only describes how to set up a
UPnP server on Windows using Windows Media Player,
there are similar applications available for macOS and
Linux.
A list of UPnP server applications for your platform can be
found at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UPnP_AV_media_
servers_and_clients.

these applications for more information on how to set up
the server.

11. Listening to music using the
headphone jack
The WFR-39 is equipped with a Headphones socket at
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 have 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.
