STEPS FOR CONNECTING YOUR RADIO TO YOUR

STEPS FOR CONNECTING YOUR RADIO TO YOUR
WIRELESS NETWORK (continued)
No networks
Found
If this happens then you will have to get your wireless access point working - see the
instructions supplied with it.
When the radio finds your wireless network, it displays the ESSID for the access point on
the screen - this is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the
network - for example:
< My Home Network >
It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will find more than one
wireless access point, in which case you can choose which one you want to connect to. Turn
the knob on the radio to see the ESSID for each access point the radio has found.
When the ESSID for the access point you want to connect to is displayed on the screen,
press the SELECT button.
If your network is not configured to need an encryption code, the screen should say:
Step 3 - Connect to the wireless network

STEPS FOR CONNECTING YOUR RADIO TO YOUR
WIRELESS NETWORK (continued)
If the screen displays either:
Enter WEP key
Or:
Enter WPA key
Then the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You therefore need to enter the correct WEP or WPA code
into the radio to get it to communicate with your network.
Only the person who set up the network in the first place knows this code; if that person is
not you then you need to find out what it is.
After 3 seconds, the display goes into the code entry mode. To enter the code, use the
knob to select each character of the code in turn, pressing the SELECT button after each
character. Note that WEP and WPA codes are sensitive to upper and lower case characters
so you must enter them exactly.
Use the BACK button to erase incorrect characters.
After the final character, use the knob to select the END character and press the SELECT
button.
The radio should now be able to connect to the network.
If the display shows “Invalid key” or “Network Error”, an incorrect password has probably
been entered.
Then:
Network OK
