• Repeat the procedure.

• Upgrade the software on your Wi-Fi router.

• Try the “AeroSphère Network Setup webpage” method in the next chapter.

• Check the Genevalab.com support page. What is WPS? WPS ( Wi-Fi protected setup ) is a simple way to connect a new device to a Wi-Fi network. WPS is a common feature on today’s Wi-Fi wireless routers or Wi-Fi access points. After pushing the white “SETUP” button on the AeroSphère Base and the “WPS” button on the Wi-Fi access point, within about a minute the AeroSphère Base will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network. WI-FI SETUP WITH THE AEROSPHÈRE NETWORK SETUP WEBPAGE Follow the detailed description in the “Feature Guide” on aerosphere.genevalab.com14 VII FIRST STEPS WITH THE AEROSPHÈRE BASE Once completed: you know how to use FM, DAB+ and the Audio CD with the remote control and the AeroSphère app. There is no additional setup needed because the AeroSphère Base will find all AeroSphère speakers automatically. HOW TO CONTROL THE AEROSPHÈRE BASE You can control the AeroSphère Base with the AeroSphère app and a remote control of the AeroSphère speaker. The Base has no remote control sensor so you need to point the remote control at an AeroSphère speaker. How do I find the AeroSphère speakers and Base with the App? Start the AeroSphère app. The AeroSphère app finds all available AeroSphère speakers and Base automatically. How to download the AeroSphère app iPhone version: search for “AeroSphere” in the App Store

The Geneva AeroSphère app works with iPhone and iPod Touch. Android version: search for “AeroSphere” in the Google Play store.

How many AeroSphère speakers can I connect to the AeroSphère Base? Up to four AeroSphère speakers. Why is there a delay when changing the AeroSphère sources ( from/to FM, DAB, CD )? The audio is streamed over the Wi-Fi network and then the audio is buffered for a few second on the speakers. The reason for audio buffering is to be less sensitive to Wi-Fi network traffic and to minimize audio interruptions. Why is there a delay when I change stations in DAB or when I change tracks on a CD? See above. After pressing a CD or DAB command on the remote control or app ( change stations, change tracks ), the station or tracks are changed immediately on the AeroSphère Base, but the audio buffering on the AeroSphère speakers adds a delay. There are audio interruptions when I listen to FM radio The wireless network bandwidth is not only limited, but also shared with Bluetooth, other devices on the same Wi-Fi network and Wi-Fi networks close by. See section “How to make sure you get the best audio streaming quality in your Wi-Fi network” for ways to minimize audio interruptions. Can I turn the AeroSphère Base on and off from the AeroSphère App? No. The AeroSphère Base is running all the time, similar to a Wi-
