6. FIRST START-UP

Your DABMAN i550 CD is a network device, which should be integrated into your network like all such devices.

By connecting to a home network with an internet connection, you have access to over 25,000 radio stations. By integrating the device into a home network, you can also control it from a tablet or smartphone via an app.

However, you can also just use your radio as a DAB+ receiver.

Information about the DAB+ reception in your region can be found on www.digitalradio.de for example.

To connect the device to the Internet, you need the following:

  • An Internet connection (e.g. DSL, ideally with a flat rate).
  • A router for Internet access, for wireless operation a so-called W-LAN router (Wireless LAN/WIFI).
  • For WIFI integration: Your network key (WEP, WPA or WPA2)

This, like any key, is used to secure against unauthorised access and has been set up with your network. To access a network secured in this way, the key

must be entered into the radio later on. If your network does not have a key,

the device can connect to the Internet without entering it.

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - FIRST START-UP - 1

NOTE!

If you are not sure whether you are using such a key in your network, just try it without entering it first! If the device does not work afterwards, repeat the setup procedure. You should know the key then, however, if necessary, ask the person who set up your network for help.

The WIFI password can often be found on the router's bottom side,

unless the key has been changed manually.

Alternatively, the device can also be connected to the internet router via a LAN cable.

The radio can be controlled using both the device buttons as well as the remote control. The remote control is the more convenient and easier way to operate the DABMAN i550 CD. For this reason, this manual mainly explains how to set up and operate the radio using the included remote control.

Connect the radio to the supplied power adapter (chapter 4.2 Connection 17)

and establish the power supply.

During the first start-up, a setup wizard starts to guide you through the one-time setup.

7. NETWORK SETTINGS

7.1 The network assistant

In order for the device to function as an Internet radio, the radio must be connected to a network with Internet access.

If you have not already done so in the initial installation, you can call the Network Wizard at any time to establish a network connection.

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - The network assistant - 1

text_image Internet Radio deozer qobuz music FM GUI Radio

Press the MODE button to enter the source menu of the device.

Use the right/left arrow buttons to select the internet radio source here and confirm with OK.

Press and hold the Menu button until the main menu appears.

Then select the Internet Settings item and confirm with OK.

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - The network assistant - 4

Select the Network Wizard item and confirm with OK. The radio then displays all available WIFI networks.

If desired or necessary, you can choose a different network here. In the case of WIFI networks that you have previously logged into, you will not have to enter any password.

7. NETWORK SETTINGS

In the Internet Settings you will find more menu items under which you can change the network settings of your radio.

PBC WIFI setup

PBC stands for Push Button Configuration. Here you can connect your DABMAN i550 CD

via WPS (WIFI protected setup) to a router, if this is supported. Further relevant information is provided in your router's manual.

Display settings

This shows all the relevant information about the current connection of your DABMAN i550 CD with the network. There you can check whether the WIFI or DHCP is active or see your MAC address, SSID, IP address or the primary DNS.

WIFI region

In part, other countries (or hemispheres) use different WIFI frequencies

or broadcasting levels. So should you take your device to the United States, for example, it is sensible to inform your DABMAN i550 CD about this.

Manual settings

Here you can switch between 'Cable' and 'wireless', activate or deactivate DHCP or do a few other things.

PIN for apps

Here you can change the PIN for the remote access to your DABMAN i550 CD.

The default setting is '1234'.

Should you use this function, we highly recommend changing this rather unoriginal password.

Delete profile

Would you like to lend your DABMAN i550 CD to someone else but remove access to your network beforehand? You can easily do that here.

Maintain connection

In standby mode, the DABMAN i550 CD can maintain or disconnect from an Internet connection. If you do not maintain the internet connection in standby mode, the DABMAN i550 CD must reconnect to the internet when you turn it on.

The DABMAN i550 CD thus needs a bit more time until you can hear the first station. If you maintain an Internet connection, the switching on process is significantly faster.

7. NETWORK SETTINGS

7.2 WIFI connection

A wireless signal is always transmitted directly from point to point or from antenna to antenna. The quality of a wireless connection therefore depends on any obstacles that have to be overcome in the air or on the way from the DABMAN to the opposite device. This means that a setup position with a shorter distance can in fact result in a poorer connection.

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - WIFI connection - 1

text_image SSID [WPS]Smarthome

To connect the device to your network, the DABMAN i550 CD will start the wizard to connect to your network. It starts by listing all the networks found.

You should find yours among them, too.

Now please select the network which you would like to connect to. If the network you are looking for does not appear, you can use the 'Rescan' menu item to repeat the search.

After selecting the network, you must now enter the network password. At the least if your WIFI router has been encrypted.

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - WIFI connection - 2

text_image Schlüssel: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . _ -@ , a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s Z U R Ü C K O K A B B R .

The passwords for your WIFI router are entered via the navigation dial: By turning the dial you select the letters and numbers; by pressing the dial you confirm

your entry, You can find the special characters by scrolling on with the dial.

Once the password has been completely entered, go to the [ok] field. Please do not confirm each letter with [ok] as this would lead to cancelling the entry.

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - WIFI connection - 3

text_image Verbunden

After confirming with the OK button, the DABMAN i550 CD sends the password to the router ("Please wait" is displayed), which - after successful adjustment - logs in the DABMAN i550 CD ("Connected" is displayed).

If everything was successful, the network setup wizard will display the message "Connected". Pressing the navigation dial takes you back to the main menu. Your entries and settings are stored in the device and do not have to be made a second time.

The next time you switch on the

DABMAN i550 CD, it will automatically find your router and connect to the network.

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - Scan / full scan - 2

In this area you can change the DAB reception frequencies manually.

Clean up transmitter

If a question mark appears before the station name in the station list, the DABMAN i550 CD cannot receive this station. This may be due to a poor reception, but also to a change on the part of the broadcasters. To prevent unavailable stations from being displayed in the station list in a confusing way, select the submenu item 'Clean up station list' in the DAB menu and confirm the security prompt with 'Yes'.

DRC

DRC is short for Dynamic Range Control. This function allows

you to adjust volume differences between different DAB+/DAB stations, resulting in a more homogeneous listening experience.

Press and hold MENU, then choose > DRC to select the desired compression ratio .
Use the navigation dial to select the compression rate:

DRC high - high compression

DRC low - low compression

DRC off - compression switched off.

Confirm using the OK button.

Station order

The sub-item “Station order” in the DAB menu leaves it up to you to decide whether you prefer to have the broadcast stations in the station list sorted in alphanumeric order or by individual ensembles (these are groups of stations broadcast together in a “package”) or by valid (stations without a question mark in front of the station name).

8.4 Store DAB/DAB+

Scan

Press the MODE button and switch to the FM Radio field.

Confirm with OK.

The device switches to the last reception frequency set.

To start a frequency scan to the next available station, briefly press and hold the up arrow key.

The radio searches for the next receivable station.

As an alternative to a scan, you can use the Skip Back/Skip

Forward buttons either directly on the radio or on the remote control to select specific frequencies

and thus find the stations located there.

Scan settings

If you press the Back button of your radio (optionally of the remote control) while the FM radio is playing, you can specify in the submenu 'Scan setting' whether the device should only consider stations with good transmission quality for the scan.

Audio settings

If FM reception is generally poor, you can specify in the 'Audio setting' sub-item that the stations are only to be played back in mono and no longer in stereo. This can significantly reduce the noise in the signal.

8.6 Receive Internet radio

In the previous section we already explained the impressive possibilities of the Internet radio function of your DABMAN i550 CD. The big advantage over the traditional way of listening to Internet radio via your computer's web browser is that your DABMAN i550 CD accesses the Internet WITHOUT the computer running – simply via your router, which establishes the connection to the Internet.

The list of Internet radio stations is constantly updated and expanded. This ensures that, with all the changes that the Internet is constantly subject to, there is always an up-to-the-minute and, above all, reliably functioning range of Internet radio stations. When accessing the Internet radio menu, the radio automatically calls up the current version directly online, thus ensuring that it is always up to date. Use the usual navigation to zap through the station list, which is already sorted.

If you come across a station that you would like to find again, simply press one of the station keys during playback for approx. 2 seconds to store the station and call it up again later if necessary using the same number key.

An asterisk (*) then appears in the bottom line of the display, followed by the respective station key - e.g. ‘*1’. Further options for managing favourites will also be presented later.

8.6.1. Internet radio station selection

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - Internet radio station selection - 1

There are various ways to find the right station here from the abundance of stations. Under [Local Stations Germany] you will only find national stations.

And since there are a lot of them, we have sorted them for you again according music style and content.

8.6.4. Add a new Internet radio URL

In order to add a new URL of a radio station, please register your

DABMAN i550 CD on www.wifiradio-frontier.com. You can request your personal access code under the Help menu item on the radio. With the access code you can then register your radio and add a new URL. The new station appears on your radio under "My added stations".

8.7 Music player (UPnP)

(Playback from a UPnP server)

Server software running on a computer or other device lets you share music files

for network playback. In the case of the DABMAN i550 CD, it must be a UPnP compatible server [UPnP:

Universal Plug and Play) which provides the data.

A simple file share, as known from the Windows network world, is not readable this way.

In contrast to an inflexible static file sharing, the DABMAN i550 CD offers flexible sorting via a virtual UPnP media server, which makes the manageability of your library more flexible by comparison: a track can be found via the artist, the genre, the album and even by means of the folder structure.

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - (Playback from a UPnP server) - 1

UPnP allows the user to receive data from the network. For example, if you have shared your music collection on your computer with a UPnP programme (e.g. Windows Media Player 11/12), you can access and play tracks from the living room or kitchen with the DABMAN i550 CD. If the music library is stored centrally on a network hard drive (NAS), this even works without a computer.

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - (Playback from a UPnP server) - 2

text_image Musikabspieler 09:36 Battery Park My Music 0:06 6:27

As a network player, your radio then directly accesses the music tracks on the drive.

The [Music player] menu item can be accessed via either the main menu or the Mode button, which can be found both on your DABMAN i550 CD and on the remote control.

If you choose this option, you will be offered two icons:

Internet radio and music player.

In the music player menu, you can access media shared on your network and also set the playback mode.

Make your choice using the navigation dial or the 'Left/right' buttons of the

remote control. If you wait for too long, the screen with return to the main menu.

Your DABMAN i550 CD has its own favourites list, which can be found in the menu under "InternetRadio". To create favourites, press and hold the navigation dial or OK button on the remote control for a few seconds. Once a favourite is stored, the radio acknowledges it in the display with the message "Favourite added". To remove a favourite, select it from the Favourites menu (highlighted in white) and press and hold the navigation dial or OK button on the remote control for a few seconds. A "Remove favourite" menu will appear. Please note that contents of UPnP servers cannot be saved as favourites because they are not permanently available.

8.9 Podcasts

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - Podcasts - 1

text_image Podcasts Länder > Formate > Suchen podcasts >

With your DABMAN i550 CD, you can subscribe not only to radio stations and broadcasts, but also to podcasts from around the world. As you can see, the podcasts in [Countries] are sorted by continent.

Under [Formats] you can also search for a specific topic. You can also - as with radio stations - search for a podcast you know by entering its name.

8.10 History

The recently played tracks and received radio stations are listed under the menu item “Last listened to”. That way, even those stations can be found without any problems that are believed to be lost forever following a brief memory loss.

8.11 Sleep timer / snooze

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - Sleep timer / snooze - 1

text_image Sleeptimer 15 MIN

Once activated, it ensures that the DABMAN i550 CD automatically turns off after the preset time, which is especially beneficial if you have fallen asleep in the meantime. You can extend the snooze time up to one hour in 15-minute increments; the default setting, of course, is "Snooze off".

Your radio features 2 integrated alarm clocks. The alarm can be activated and the time set in the menu. An alarm sound, the last station you listened to or your favourites are available as the source. To adjust the volume, the source is played and you can adjust the desired level by using the navigation dial.

8.13 Receiving time information via DAB, FM or Internet

You do not need to set the integrated clock of the DABMAN i550 CD yourself, as many broadcasters transmit a coded time signal together with their programme. However, this only works if you receive the corresponding stations in sufficient quality.

Use the navigation dial to select "System settings" in the main menu, then "Date/Time" and finally "Auto update". Now you can choose whether you want to receive the time signal from radio stations via DAB/DAB+, FM or the Internet.

8.14 CD Player

8.14.1. General Information about CDs/MP3 CDs

The DABMAN i550 CD is suitable for music CDs recorded with audio data

(CD-DA or MP3 for CD-R and CD-RW). MP3 formats must be created with ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2.

Multisession CDs cannot be read.

In MP3 mode, the terms "Folder" = album and 'track' are decisive. "Album" corresponds to the folder on the PC, "track" to the file on the PC or a CD-DA title.

The device alphabetically sorts the albums or tracks of an album by name. If you prefer a different order, change the name of the track or album and put a number in front of the name.

When burning audio data onto a CD-R and CD-RW, a number of problems can arise that can sometimes interfere with a smooth playback.

This is caused by faulty software and hardware settings

or the blank CD used. If such errors occur, you should contact the customer service of your CD burner/burning software manufacturer or look for appropriate information - e.g. on the Internet.

When you make audio CDs, follow the law and do not infringe the copyrights of third parties.

The device can play CDs with MP3 data and normal audio CDs (CD-DA). Do not use other extensions, such as

*.doc, *.txt, *.pdf, etc. when converting audio files to MP3. Music files with the extension
*.AAC, *.DLF, *.M3U and *.PLS or *.WMA cannot be played.

Due to the variety of different encoder software, it cannot be guaranteed that every MP3 file can be played without problems.

In case of faulty tracks/files, the playback will be continued at the next track/file.

It is advantageous to burn at low speed when burning the CD and to create the CD as single session and finalised.

The CD player is compatible with CD, CD-R/RW and MP3 CD media. You can play all the discs mentioned here (disc size 12 cm CDs, playing time 74 min.) on this device.

When transporting the device, remove the disc from the drive.

This will prevent damage to the CD player and the disc.

The playback quality of MP3 CDs depends on the bit rate setting and the burning software used.

8.14.2. Play a CD

Press the MENU button, and then select Main Menu > CD.
To insert a CD, press the eject button on the device or on the remote control and carefully insert the CD with the label pointed up on the CD tray. Make sure that the CD is not crooked.

To insert or remove the CD, please only touch the edge of the CD.

Wait until the CD contents have been completely read before operating to ensure that all the required information has been read from the CD. Especially with MP3 CDs this process can take some time.

Press the Play/Pause button on the remote control (8) to start/pause playback (the play time flashed in the display).

Press the STOP button on the remote control (6) to stop playback.
The display shows the total number of tracks.
Always stop playback before removing a CD.
If there is no playback, the DABMAN i550 CD will enter standby mode after approx. 15 minutes.

8.14.3 Set a track

You can select folders/albums using the arrow buttons on the remote control.

Use the skip forward/backward buttons (7, 9) on the remote control to skip to the next or previous track.

The display shows the track number set in each case (F = folder/album, T = track).

You can run a fast forward or backward search in the current track to find a specific part. Playback does not occur during the search.

Press and hold the track skip forward/back buttons (7, 9) on the remote control to perform fast forward/reverse within the track for the duration of the press.

8.14.5. Repeat function

You can choose to repeat a track, the entire folder/album (MP3 CDs only), or all tracks on the CD.

To do this, press the Back button on your remote control (21) again. The selected mode will be shown on the display (Repeat Track ①, Repeat Folder/Album ⑤ Repeat All Tracks ).

To turn the function off again, press the Back key (21). Repeat until the Repeat indicator is no longer displayed.

8.14.6. Shuffle playback

With the random function you can play the tracks of a CD in any mixed order.

During playback, press the Shuffle button [22] on the remote control repeatedly until the shuffle character ✗ appears in the display.

To switch the function off again, press the Shuffle button (22) again.

8.14.7. Notes on the CD

Always store the CD in its case and only touch the edges.

The surface shimmering in rainbow colours must not be touched and should always be clean. Do not stick paper or tape on the label side of the disc.

The CD should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators.

A CD must also not be placed in a car parked directly in the sun, as the inside temperature in the car can rise extremely high. Clean fingerprints and dust on the recorded side with a clean, dry cleaning cloth.

Do not use disc care products such as disc spray, cleaning fluids, antistatic spray or solvents such as petrol, thinner or other commercially available chemicals to clean CDs.

Stubborn stains can potentially be removed with a damp chamois leather.

Wipe from the centre towards the disc's edges. Circular movements during cleaning cause scratches. These can cause playback errors.

The Bluetooth mode is recommended if you are near the radio with a device to be connected and no network connection is available.

Select Bluetooth from the menu.

A Bluetooth connection must be established before you can send audio files to the radio via Bluetooth.

10. BLUETOOTH

10.1 Establish a Bluetooth connection

Imperial Dabman i550 CD - Establish a Bluetooth connection - 1

text_image Bluetooth Audio 00:00 Bluetooth Heutiges Datum: [Nicht belegt]

If you have selected Bluetooth mode on the radio, it is in pairing mode and will search for Bluetooth devices to connect to. Now activate the Bluetooth function of the external device to be connected (for further details, please refer to the operating manual of that device). Search for “DABMAN i550 CD” in the list of available devices, select it and establish the connection. In the radio display, a Bluetooth symbol appears in the lower left corner.

10.2 Playing media via Bluetooth

If you have established a Bluetooth connection as described in Chapter 10.1, you can play music files stored on an external device via the

DABMAN i550 CD. To do this, proceed as follows:

Start playback of the music on the external device by switching to the corresponding playback function (MP3 player, etc.) or select a track from the respective playlist and start playback.

You can play the sound of an external device on the DABMAN i 300 CD.

The device has one analog audio input, two digital-electrical inputs and two digital-optical inputs.

Connect the external device to the audio input on the rear panel of the radio.
Press the MODE button repeatedly until [AUX IN] appears on the display.

Alternatively:

Press and hold the MENU button, then select AUX IN from the main menu.

To optimally set the volume, use both the volume adjuster on the radio as well as the connected device.

Please note that a very low volume setting of the connected device and a correspondingly higher volume setting of the radio will also amplify annoying noise/interference to a greater extent and thus be heard more clearly. We thus recommend adjusting the volume of the DABMAN i550 CD e.g. on a DAB+ or FM station, switching to the audio input and then adjusting the volume of the connected device so that the total volume of the audio input roughly corresponds to the volume of the DAB+/FM station. This way you can also avoid major volume differences when switching between the DABMAN i550 CD functions.

11. AUDIO INPUTS

11.1 Selecting a connected audio device

To play the sound of a connected audio device, use the MODE button to select the audio input through which you want to play the sound of a connected device.

Professional specialists are ready to offer their assistance in our service area. Here you can ask any questions you may have about IMPERIAL products and get suggestions on troubleshooting.

Our technical staff is available to answer you questions from Mondays - Fridays from 08:00 - 16:45 under the following phone number:

02676 / 95 20 101

or at the email address: service@telestar.de

If the Service Hotline is unable to assist you, please send your DABMAN i300 CD to the following address, preferably in its

original packaging but packed for safe transport:

TELESTAR - DIGITAL GmbH

Service Center

Your device is labelled with the CE mark and complies with all required EU standards.

TELESTAR DIGITAL GmbH hereby declares that the device DABMAN i550 CD

complies with the basic and

other relevant provisions

of RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, RE Directive 2014/53/EU as well as the

ErP Directive 2009/125/EC.

The declaration of conformity for this product is available at:

An access point is a network component to which

the WIFI clients (terminal devices) connect in order to exchange data with the Internet or other clients. It is identified by means of the SSID. The DABMAN can connect to an AP to receive data from various other computers in the local network or audio streams from the internet.

DHCP

An abbreviation that stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and enables

the dynamic assignment of IP addresses and configuration parameters of a computer using a suitable server. DHCP enables the integration of an additional network component without configuration. The configuration assistant of the DABMAN enables DHCP so that no further configuration parameters are required.

IEEE 802.11 b/g

Describes the industry standard for wireless networks.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is the publisher. Within this context, b denotes a maximum data transfer rate of 11 Mbit/s and g 54 Mbit/s. Our DABMAN supports these two standards. IP (IP address) — (Internet Protocol)

refers to a transmission protocol commonly used in computer networks.

Each client receives an IP address (like a house number) which occurs as a sequence of four pairs of numbers separated by a period (e.g. 127.80.1.34).

This assignment is done automatically with DHCP. If the DABMAN is not configured via DHCP, the IP address can be entered manually.

LAN

A LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network in a limited area (usually a cable-based network).

MAC address

(Media Access Control Address) is the hardware address of each network component that is used for unique identification. It is fixed and cannot be changed.

Since the DABMAN is a network component, it also has a fixed MAC address. This can be found on the underside of the device.

Router

A router is a connection computer that ensures that data packages sent within a network are forwarded to the correct target computer [client]. A router often links different networks with each other, for example WIFI and LAN. The DABMAN is also such a client that receives its data packages in this way.

21. GLOSSARY

SSID (ESSID)

Service Set Identifier (SSID) or Network Name is a radio

network identifier based on IEEE 802.11. Each wireless LAN has a configurable SSID or ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier) to uniquely identify the wireless network. Hence it represents the network's name.

The radio automatically detects all found networks, but also offers the option to enter an SSID manually.

UPnP

This abbreviation stands for Universal Plug and Play and is based on a number

of standardised network protocols. It is used for the manufacturer-independent control of devices (stereo system, printer, router, house systems) via an IP-based network. The radio is a UPnP device that can receive data by means of the appropriate software.

WEP encryption

(Wired-Equivalent-Privacy) describes an encryption standard

for WIFIs. Of course, DABMAN WEP can also receive and interpret WEP-encrypted data.

WPA encryption

Like WEP, WPA is a standard for encryption and

authentication. WPA was developed to address the basic weaknesses of WEP encryption. WPA can therefore be regarded as the safe successor to WEP.

WPS WIFI Protected Setup is a standard for a simple and secure way of connecting in a wireless network.

WIFI

Certificate for WIFI products that comply with IEEE802.11 standards and are compatible with other products. The radio also meets the technical standards of the WIFI consortium.

WLAN

Also known as Wireless LAN or Wireless Local Area Network, it is a wireless local area network used to transmit data.

All technical data and functions described in these operating instructions are correct at the time of printing

and are subject to change without prior notice.

We assume no liability for misprints or errors.
