Common Questions
Does it need WiFi or internet?
No internet connection is required. This radio works entirely offline, just like a classic tabletop radio from the 1940s. Simply plug it in and start enjoying your favorite music.
Can I connect it to my phone?
Unfortunately, we do not support Bluetooth or phone apps. We believe the best connection is a physical one—plugging a microSD card into the radio and turning it on.
Is it safe for memory care residents?
Absolutely. It is designed with simple, one-button operation and no small parts. The nostalgic AM-static sound helps trigger memories and provides a comforting, familiar environment.
How easy is it to set up?
It's incredibly simple. Just plug the radio into a power outlet, insert your microSD card with music, and turn the volume knob on. No complicated apps or setup frustration.
How do I add or remove music from the microSD-card?
The files must be in mp3 format and with specific names, but don't worry, an app has been created to make this easy. Download the file for your respective device (Mac or PC).
