the ESSID is not broadcast (sometimes referred to as hidden). If this

 

is the case then the name will not be visible in the list (there may be

a blank entry). You will then need to use the Tuning/Select control to

[Rescan]

 

 

point to the '[Manual Config]' option, and then you should press the

If your network is configured without an encryption code, the screen

 

 

 

should say 'Connecting...', and then show the main Internet Radio

 

 

 

menu.

 

 

 

If this is the case then you have successfully connected your radio to

 

 

 

your network, so please proceed to paragraph 14 on the next page.

If the screen displays 'Key:' , it is because the network is using one

 

 

 

of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi

Key:

 

 

Protected Access (WPA). You therefore need to enter the correct

C

 

WEP or WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate with your

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 WiFi routers may come with a key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the user documentation provided with it.
