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 Tuning/Select control as needed: 

 

 

select '

' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info again to continue

9.  WPA and WPA2 are similar, although WPA2 offers a higher level of security. Whichever you selected 

in step 7, you then have to specify the variant used. They are TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) 

and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). As previously, the setting should match that used by your 

router. Some routers allow both to be specified, and the router will use whichever variant is supported 

by the connected device.  AES is regarded as the more secure option if it is available.

10. The radio will then require you to enter the encryption key. This must be a string of between 8 and 

63 characters and must be identical to the key which has been entered into your router. Note - the

Once the key is entered the radio should connect to the network.

11.  While the radio is trying to connect to the network, it will display 'Processing...' when checking the 

encryption  key  (if  using  the  WiFi  connection)  and  then  'Connecting...'.    If  the  connection  is  made 

successfully, the radio will return to the Network settings menu.  If the unit cannot connect, then it will 

display a 'Failed to connect' message and will return to the SSID entry screen (step 6).

 

Once connected, the network settings are stored in the radio. The settings are retained when the radio 

is disconnected from the mains.

 

You may now use the Back and Mode buttons to access the functions of your radio.
