Front panel Status LED

When Contour is powered, the Status LED is visible through the front speaker mesh. The Status LED is also used to indicate the various states of Contour, by colour.

Red Standby (bright) / Starting up (bright ﬂashing) / Sleep (dimmed)

Blue iPod/iPhone/iPad dock is active (ﬂashing indicates that the connection to

the docked product is preparing and also indicates remote activity)

White AirPlay is active (fast ﬂashing indicates remote activity) (slow ﬂashing

indicates network connectivity problems)

Pink Aux In is active (fast ﬂashing indicates remote activity)

Blue/Green (Alternate ﬂashing) Temporary wireless network setup

Cyan Flashing indicates a software error

Amber Updating software

Note: For quick reference, there is a sticker on the base of Contour which indicates the most

common Status LED states.

Switching between Sleep, Standby and On

Contour has three power modes, Standby, Sleep and On. In Standby, Contour uses minimal power (Status LED is bright red). In Sleep mode, Contour remains connected to the wireless network (once attached) and is waiting for a source to be selected (the Status LED is dimmed red).

To enter Sleep mode, press Standby. Contour will automatically enter Sleep mode if it does not receive any audio from AirPlay or an iPod/iPhone/iPad. Once in Sleep mode, press Standby to switch to On.

To enter Standby, press and hold Standby for four seconds on Contour, or the remote until the Status LED is bright red. Press Standby to switch straight to On. Contour will ﬂash red for around

30 seconds, pause, and then return to the state that Contour was in before Standby.

Network setup

Contour can be connected to your network using a wireless or wired connection.

We recommend using the wireless connection method, which allows you to position your Contour anywhere within range of your wireless connection. See page 7 for more information.

To use the wired connection method, connect an Ethernet cable between the Ethernet port on the back of Contour and one of the available Ethernet ports on your router. You might want to use this method if you experience sound quality problems or if your Contour is located near your router. See page 10 for more information.

Preparing Contour to use AirPlay with Wi-Fi

Introduction

There are ﬁve stages in preparing Contour to use AirPlay if you are connecting Contour to your network with a wireless connection. Skip this section if you are using the wired connection method (see page 10).

1. Prepare Contour for wireless setup.

2. Create a connection between Contour and your setup device (any device with Wi-Fi and a browser, such as an iPhone or laptop), by using a temporary wireless network.

3. Access Contour Setup Manager.

4. Assign Contour a unique name.

5. Add Contour to your wireless network.

Stage 1: Prepare Contour for wireless setup

1. Position Contour in range of your wireless network.

Typical wireless setup

2. Insert the connector of the mains power adapter into the socket on the rear of Contour.

3. Plug in to the mains supply.

4. When the red Status LED on the front has stopped flashing, Contour is in Sleep mode.

18V DC

Stage 2: Connecting your setup device to Contour

In the next setup stage you need to establish a temporary connection between your setup device and Contour. In order to achieve this, you need to create a wireless network to connect Contour to an iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad or laptop.

Connecting using a temporary wireless network

1. Ensure that Contour is in Sleep mode or switched On.

2. Press the Wi-Fi Setup button on the back of the Contour for ﬁve seconds. This will turn on Contour’s temporary wireless network. The Status LED will ﬂash red while the temporary wireless network starts up.

20 secs

After around twenty seconds, the Status LED will then ﬂash green and blue.

3. On your setup device (iPhone, laptop etc), the Contour 200i Air ****** wireless network should now be visible. Select this network. No password is required.

4. Once you have connected to the Contour 200i Air ****** wireless network, you can access the Contour Setup Manager on your setup device’s web browser. Use Contour Setup Manager to add Contour to your own wireless network. See Stage 3.

Note: ****** represents a six digit code that will be unique to each Contour.

Stage 3: Accessing Contour Setup Manager

Once you have established the temporary connection between your setup device and Contour, you can assign a unique name to Contour and add it to your wireless network as follows:

1. On your setup device, start your web browser (e.g. Safari, Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox).

2. Enter the following address:

http://192.168.1.12

3. The Contour Setup Manager will be displayed:

4. Click the Connection tab. The Connection tab is divided into two distinct areas Contour Name Assignment and Wireless Network Settings. See Stage 4 for the next steps.

Stage 4: Assigning Contour a unique name

If you prefer, you can change the name that your network, iTunes and Apple device sees the Contour as. Carry out the following in the Contour Name Assignment area below to change Contour’s name:

1. Type the name (e.g. ‘Living Room’) that you want to assign Contour in the Product Name box.

2. Click Update.

3. Wait for the conﬁrmation page to be displayed to conﬁrm that the new Product Name has been applied to Contour.

Assignment

Wireless Network

Settings

Stage 5: Adding Contour to your wireless network

Contour will automatically scan for available networks. If the automatic option does not work, see “Manual wireless setup” on page 16 to manually add Contour to your wireless network:

1. Select the name of your own wireless network from the Network drop-down list. The encryption method will automatically be detected by Contour.

2. If required, enter the security key used by your network in the box below.

3. Click Connect. The Status LED will then ﬂash red to indicate that Contour is resetting. When Contour has reset it will enter Sleep mode and the Status LED will be dim red.

4. Press Standby on Contour or the remote control so that AirPlay is selected as the input source. If the Status LED is steady white AirPlay has been setup successfully. If the Status LED is ﬂashing white there is a problem with Contour’s network connection. See “Hints and tips” on page 24 for more information.

5. Contour is now setup to use AirPlay with a wireless connection. See page 11.

Note: We recommend that you contact your IT department before attempting to connect Contour to a corporate wireless network.
