GETTING STARTED

We have done everything in our power to make your auris skye set up as simple and user friendly as possible.

You can connect to your skye in two different ways:

1. With AirPlay / DLNA on WiFi network (using the skye Control App)

2. With AirPlay / DLNA on Direct WiFi network

skye needs to be set up to connect properly over AirPlay or DLNA to your

WiFi network (using the auris skye App) only the ﬁrst time. Once they're set up, you will be able to play from all compatible devices.

Please Note:

Avoid using WEP encryption and TKIP security on your router. We recommend WPA2 encryption + AES which also enhances security signiﬁcantly. For instructions on changing the security type on your router, please refer to your router's documentation.

Plug skye into your 30-pin Docking station. Turn on your Dock and skye will power on automatically. The Status Indicator will now be pulsing WHITE for 10-20 secs. When the indicator shows solid WHITE, skye is ready for setup.
