The privacy policy will be displayed right after. Press the Navigation  Dial/’OK’ button (Ref.7) to confirm and continue.

The device’s Setup Wizard will automatically launch to guide you through the process.

Select ‘YES’ and confirm to proceed.

If you select ‘NO,’ the next window will ask to you choose if you want to start the Setup Wizard the next time you power the radio on.
