The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions. You can quickly access

Once the key is entered the radio should connect to your network. Please skip to step 11.
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 specifi ed, 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
encryption key is sensitive to the use of upper and lower case letters and symbols. Take care to enter
the key exactly, or the radio will not be able to connect to your router.

Once the key is entered the radio should connect.
11. While the radio is trying to connect to your network, it will display 'Processing...' while 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 radio 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 and when batteries are removed.
You may now use the Back or Mode buttons to access the functions of your radio.
