9. WPA and WPA2 are similar, although WPA2 offers a higher level of security. Whichever you
selected in step 7, you then have to specify the variant used. They are TKIP (Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). As previously, the setting should
match that used by your router. Some routers allow both to be specified, and the router will use
whichever variant is supported by the connected device. AES is regarded as the more secure
option if it is available.

10. The radio will then require you to enter the encryption key. This must be a string of between 8
and 63 characters and must be identical to the key which has been entered into your router.
Note - the encryption key is sensitive to the use of upper and lower case letters and symbols.
Take care to enter the key exactly, or the radio will not be able to connect to your router.
Once the key is entered the radio should connect to the network.

11. While the radio is trying to connect to the network, it will display 'Processing...' when checking
the encryption key (if using the WiFi connection) and then 'Connecting...'. If the connection is
made successfully, the radio will return to the Network settings menu. If the unit cannot connect,
then it will display a 'Failed to connect' message and will return to the SSID entry screen (step 6).
Once connected, the network settings are stored in the radio. The settings are retained when
the radio is disconnected from the mains. You may now use the

Back and Mode buttons to

access the functions of your radio.
