because the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired

Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You

therefore need to enter the correct 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 your network. Some Wi-Fi routers may come with

 

 

 

a key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer

WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Some

 

 

 

Wi-Fi access points can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these do

 

 

 

not conform to a defined standard and are not supported. WPA keys

 

 

 

are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters.

Your Internet radio can accept pass-phrases for WPA keys.

If the WEP or WPA key was previously entered and the radio has not

key, use the knob to select each character of the key in turn, pressing the Select control after each character. Remember, WEP keys only use the numbers 0 - 9 and letters A - F. WPA keys are sensitive to upper and lower case characters so you must enter them exactly.
