2. Setup your RCA Infinite Radio accounts
To simplify setup on the radio please complete these steps:
1. Find the Setup Information Card that contains your radio’s MAC address number (MAC:
00-00-00-00-00-00) and activation PIN # (PIN: 0000). (This number is also found in the Device Info screen
under the Settings menu in your radio.)
2. Using any Internet-connected computer, go to www.rcainfiniteradio.com/setup and follow the online
instructions.
•
You will need to input your radio’s MAC address and PIN # to associate your radio with your personal
settings.
3. Optional: Insert AAA batteries in the base of the radio
Follow the polarity markers in the battery compartment. The batteries power the clock and alarm* whenever
the radio loses electricity. We recommend that you replace the batteries every year (or more often in case of
multiple power outages) to avoid low battery power. Otherwise, clock and alarm accuracy may be affected
when electricity supply is interrupted.
* When the battery backup functions, the clock display will not light. However, the function of
alarm still occurs during the power interruption if remaining battery power is adequate.
4. For RIR205 only: Connect the RCA Wi-Fi Enabler to your network
If your modem or router/hub/switch has only one LAN
port and is connected to your PC, disconnect the
N
A
L
Ethernet cable from the modem/router/hub/switch and
connect it to the Enabler's LAN port.

more advanced users or for troubleshooting
purposes.
The LED of ON/STANDBY button is flashing.

If you encounter problems connecting the radio
to the Internet via RCA Wi-Fi Enabler, the settings
on the radio may not match the settings on the
Enabler. Follow the steps below to configure the

If the LED is flashing even faster (3-second
interval), this means that the unit is being
powered by weak backup batteries. Please
replace the backup batteries (refer to page 9). We
recommend that you replace the batteries every
year (or more often in case of multiple power
outages) to avoid low battery power. Otherwise,
clock and alarm accuracy may be affected when
electricity supply is interrupted.
