3. Switching on and setting up
Streaming audio via a wireless or wired network
connection from AirPlay or Spotify Connect requires
Zeppelin Wireless to be on the same network as
the source device. Zeppelin Wireless needs to be
connected to a router via a wireless or wired network
connection. If network streaming is not possible or
desired Zeppelin Wireless can also be set up in a
non-networked mode allowing Bluetooth and AUX
sources only. See section 3.1 for wireless network
setup, wired network setup, and section 3.4 for non-
network setup.
After removing Zeppelin Wireless from the box,
connect to a mains power supply. The indicator will
initially pulse red and then pulse green to indicate
that Zeppelin Wireless is ready for any of the setup
options below, see Diagram 2.
Note: When ready for setup, the indicator will be
pulsing green, the Bluetooth and AUX icons will
be off and inactive. Zeppelin Wireless must be
connected to a network or put into non-network
mode before the AUX and Bluetooth buttons are
available for use. If no action is taken for 20 minutes,
Zeppelin Wireless will automatically switch to
standby. It can be switched on by pressing the
power button.
