NOXON A540

Internet radio

In the previous section, we already introduced the impressive Internet radio capabilities
of your A540. The big advantage of the A540 over the conventional way of listening to
Internet radio via your computer's web browser is that your A540 can tap into the full va-
riety of the Internet WITHOUT relying on your computer—simply by connecting directly
to the router that provides your Internet access.
Caution—transfer volume! Please note that frequently listening to Internet radio stations
will result in an enormous volume of data being transferred over the course of a month.
If you have a contract with a volume limit, exceeding this limit may result in extra costs.
For that reason, we recommend unlimited rate plans.

radio stations do this.
As a listener, you are no longer tied to the set broadcast times of conventional radio
programs, you can access the contents made available in this way whenever you want.
That's why it's called "Radio On Demand". The variety of these contents is vast, and
growing by the day. Possibly even an interesting alternative to classic radio: and it's not
only broadcast organisations that are providing content like this, more recently live re-
cordings of university lectures, language courses, comedy programs or just plain simple
audio journals have been added to the offering. There's something for just about any
desire. And the best of it is: With your A540 you have easy, free access to the podcast
collection—enormous, well sorted by origin and genre, constantly updated, and com-
