Connecting to your computer network - cont.

13. If your network is not found, it may be because the router is configured not to broadcast the SSID. You

should then use the Tuning/Select control to highlight and select the '[Manual config]' option in order to

enter the network details manually. This is described in 'Manual Network Configuration', see page 16.

If your network name is being broadcast, and it was not found, then try re-scanning (press the Back

button), and if necessary try moving your radio to a location closer to your access point / router.

14. When the SSID for the wireless network you wish to connect to is highlighted on the screen, press the

Tuning/Select control. If WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) was indicated, you will see an additional menu at

this point, otherwise proceed to step 15.

Choose one of the WPS menu options as required for your router (WPS may be via push button, or using

an identification number).

'Push Button' - the display prompts you to press the WPS button on your router and then the

Tuning/Select

control on the radio. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to

the radio.

'PIN' - the display shows an identification number which you must enter into your router using a web

browser (refer to your router's user documentation). You should then press the Tuning/Select control on

the radio. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the radio.

'Skip WPS' - if you wish to enter the encryption key yourself (or if it was previously entered).

If you chose Push Button or PIN the screen will then show 'Connecting...' and then 'Setup wizard completed'.

Press the Tuning/Select control to exit setup wizard and then go to paragraph 18 on the next page.

15. If your network is configured without an encryption key, the screen should say 'Connecting...', and then

'Setup wizard completed'. Press the

Tuning/Select control to exit the setup wizard and show the main

menu. If this is the case then you have successfully connected your radio to your network, so please go

to paragraph 18 on the next page.

16. If the screen displays 'Key:', it is because the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired

Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA). You will need to enter the correct WEP or

WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate with your wireless network. If you do not have the WEP

or WPA key, then you should obtain it from the person who set up your network. Some wireless routers

may come with an encryption key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the

documentation provided with it. WPA is used here to also include WPA2.
