is shown. Select the network you want to use and enter
the network security key. The FC-5000 remembers the Wi-Fi
network connections created.

managed from this set up screen.
Note: Windows 10 does not support shared key WEP.

GPS/GNSS receiver with an internal antenna to provide
position information. Use Maps to see your location and
ensure that GPS is working. Open the Start menu and select
Maps.
