How can I find the wireless security information (SSID and network key)

*

The network key may also be described as a password, security key or encryption key.

*

If the wireless access point/router is not broadcasting the SSID, the SSID will not automatically be detected. You will have to manually 
enter the SSID.

Operation beeps

If a correct operation is performed, the machine beeps one time.

If an incorrect operation is performed, the machine beeps two or four times.

If the machine locks up, for example, because the thread is tangled, the machine continues to beep for four seconds, and then the 
machine automatically stops. Be sure to check for the cause of the error, and correct it before continuing to embroider.

23

The wireless security information (Authentication 
method, Encryption method, Network Key) is 
incorrect.

The wireless security information (authentication method/encryption method/
network key (password)) is incorrect.
Refer to the table for the [The authentication and encryption methods used by 
the selected wireless LAN access point/router are not supported by your 
machine.] error message, and reconfirm the wireless security information 
(authentication method/encryption method/network key (password)). (page 
16)
Refer to “How can I find the wireless security information (SSID and network 
key)” on page 58.

F**

If error message [F**] appears in the LCD while the machine is being used, the 
machine may be malfunctioning. Contact your authorized Baby Lock retailer.

1)

2)

The default SSID (wireless network name) could be the manufacturer’s name or the model name.

3)

If you do not know the security information, please consult the router manufacturer, your system administrator, or 
internet provider.

4)

Some Wireless SSIDs and network keys (passwords) are case (upper case and lower case) sensitive. Please
