• Depending on your home network environment, the
wireless LAN router/access point may have been set up
such that it cannot be connected using WPS, even
though it is compatible with WPS. For details on
whether your wireless LAN router/access point is
compatible or not compatible with WPS, and on the
setup of a WPS connection, refer to the operating
manual supplied with your wireless LAN router/access
point.
• You may encounter setup difficulties if the system and
the wireless LAN router/access point are located too far
from each other. If you do, move the devices closer to
each other.

access point, using a WPS connecting method
(either the push-button method or the PIN code
method), or manual setting. Select the connection
method that can be used for your home network
using the chart on page 22.
Notes
• Make sure not to use the wireless LAN function where
medical equipment (such as a pacemaker) is used or
where the use of wireless communication is prohibited.
• Before connecting to your home network, you need to
prepare a wireless LAN router/access point. For details,
refer to the operating manual supplied with the device.
Searching for an access point and setting up a wireless network (access point scan method)
