If your network is configured without an encryption key, the screen should say ‘Connecting…’,
and then ‘Setup wizard completed’. Press the Tuning Control Rotary to exit the setup wi -
zard and show the main menu. If this is the case then you have successfully connected your
radio to your network.
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. WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 – 9, and A – F).
Some wireless Routers can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these are not supported.
WPA keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters. Your radio
accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.
To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters are selected and entered using the
Tuning
Control Rotary . The highlight scrolls through the available characters as well as the three
controls on the right. The character currently highlighted will be entered when you press the
Tuning Control Rotary . Do this as needed until the complete key has been entered. Re -
member, WEP keys only use the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F. WPA keys are sensitive to up -
per and lower case characters. You must enter the key exactly or the radio will not connect to
the network. The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions.
You can quickly access these by pressing the Info button and then use the Up or Down and
Select buttons as needed:
select ‘ ’ to erase a character just entered
select ‘ ’ when the complete key has been entered
select ‘ ’ to cancel an re-run the Network Wizard
If a WEP or WPA key has previously been entered for the selected SSID then the display will
show ‘Key: [Set]’. If you have previously entered a different key, you must clear this by selec -
ting the ‘ ’ symbol. This will remove the ‘[Set]’ indication.
After the final character of the WEP or WPA key has been entered, highlight the ‘ ’ symbol
and press the Tuning Control Rotary . Then screen will show ‘Connecting…’ and then ‘Setup
wizard completed’. Press the Tuning Control Rotary to exit setup wizard. The radio should
now be able to connect to the network.
