Wireless network Cannot establish a connection with the Wireless LAN access point. • Check to make sure the power of the Wireless LAN access point is on. • The communication range may be shortened by the surrounding conditions, such as various obstacles, radio wave traffic, and the wall material between this camera and the Wireless LAN access point. Change the location of the camera or move the camera closer to the access point. • Check whether an encryption key (WEP/WPA) or other special settings (Fixed IP address, proxy settings, etc.) are needed to connect to the access point. • When the access point is set so that the SSID is hidden, the SSID may not be displayed on the network list. Check the SSID of the access point with an administrator and make settings manually. Or cancel the setting on the access point. • You may be unable to use the internet at public Wireless LAN access points unless you use the Web or another method to enter your login ID, password, or other identifying information. Check with the wireless network service that you are connecting to. • Microwave ovens or Bluetooth-enabled devices use the 2.4 GHz wavelength and could hinder the communication. If such devices are in the vicinity, move the camera away from those devices or shut those devices down. Cannot enter the encryption key. • For details on the verification method used for the encryption key (WEP key or WPA key), see the operation manual for the access point or the information listed on the bottom panel of the device. • The number of characters and numbers that can be input differs depending on the encryption type. The MAC address of this camera is unknown. • To check the MAC address, enter an invalid SSID and test the connection to force a connection failure. The MAC address of this camera will be displayed after the connection test. It takes too much time to transfer an image. • The communication range may be shortened by the surrounding conditions, such as various obstacles, radio wave traffic, and the wall material between the devices or between this camera and the Wireless LAN access point. Change the location of the devices, put the devices closer together, or move the camera closer to the access point. • You may be getting a crossed connection with another Wireless LAN access point. Set the wireless channel at the Wireless LAN access point. For further information, refer to the operating manual of the Wireless LAN access point. • Microwave ovens or Bluetooth-enabled devices use the 2.4 GHz wavelength and could hinder the communication. If such devices are in the vicinity, move the camera away from those devices or shut those devices down.
