First Claim
1. A communication apparatus comprising:
- a display;
a processor; and
a memory storing computer-readable instructions therein, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the communication apparatus to perform;
receiving an apparatus search signal from an external apparatus, wherein the apparatus search signal is sent from the external apparatus to a plurality of apparatuses being candidate apparatuses with which the external apparatus is to establish a wireless connection, in a case where a search operation for searching the plurality of apparatuses is performed by a user on the external apparatus;
causing the display to display a first screen including a first inquiry message in a case where the apparatus search signal is received from the external apparatus and it is determined that the communication apparatus and the external apparatus are within a specified distance of each other, the first inquiry message being for inquiring, of the user, whether a particular wireless connection is to be established between the communication apparatus which has received the apparatus search signal and the external apparatus which has sent the apparatus search signal,wherein in a case where the apparatus search signal is received from the external apparatus and it is determined that the communication apparatus and the external apparatus are not within the specified distance of each other, the first screen is not displayed; and
establishing the particular wireless connection between the communication apparatus and the external apparatus in a case where the user selects, in response to the first inquiry message, to establish the particular wireless connection.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause a communication apparatus to:
-
receive an apparatus search signal from an external apparatus, wherein the apparatus search signal is sent from the external apparatus to a plurality of apparatuses being candidate apparatuses with which the external apparatus is to establish a wireless connection, in a case where a search operation for searching the plurality of apparatuses is performed by a user on the external apparatus; cause a display to display a first screen including a first inquiry message in a case where the apparatus search signal is received from the external apparatus and it is determined that the communication apparatus and the external apparatus are within a specified distance of each other, the first inquiry message being for inquiring, of the user, whether a particular wireless connection is to be established between the communication apparatus which has received the apparatus search signal and the external apparatus which has sent the apparatus search signal, wherein in a case where the apparatus search signal is received from the external apparatus and it is determined that the communication apparatus and the external apparatus are not within the specified distance of each other, the first screen is not displayed; and establish the particular wireless connection between the communication apparatus and the external apparatus in a case where the user selects, in response to the first inquiry message, to establish the particular wireless connection.
