becomes weak. It may take a long time to
register or installation may fail.

your smartphone.

Connect your smartphone to the wireless router.
NOTE
• To verify the Wi-Fi connection, check that Wi-Fi
icon on the control panel is lit.

only. To check your network frequency, contact your
Internet service provider or refer to your wireless

problems with the wireless signal transmission,
unplug the appliance and wait about a minute
before trying again.
• If the firewall on your wireless router is enabled,
disable the firewall or add an exception to it.
