Getting Ready to Free Your Music

Connecting the Speakers

To connect the speakers/ cables, ensure that the cables are long

enough to rech the desired locations of the A100 and the position

of the speakers.

If using 4mm banana plugs simply insert them into the terminals

on the back of the A100.

If using bare wire, press the sprung terminal and insert the cable

paying particular attention to the markings on the cables and the

terminals.

Ensure that the positive cable goes to the positive terminals and

likewise with the negative.

Connecting the Power

Connect the mains lead to the back of the A100, connect to wall

socket and were applicable turn on.

1. Connect mains input lead into A100

2. Insert mains plug into allsocket and where applicable turn on.

AirPlay Direct

To Free Your Music before even connecting the A100 to a wireless

network, or if you don’t have a wireless router use the A100 in

AirPlay Direct mode to still be able to enjoy your music.

Activating this mode creates a wireless network solely between

the A100 and the iOS-device. To connect using AirPlay Direct,

follow the steps below:

1. Turn the A100 on from standby.

2. Press the AirPlay Direct button on the rear of the A100 (Button

2 on the illustration on page 3).

3. The LED on the front of the unit will momentarily ash purple

and then turn solid purple.

4. On the iOS-device, go to “Settings” and then “Wireless”. Within the

available wireless networks, there should be “Airstream A100...”.

Select “Airstream A100...” from the list then press the home button.

5. With the album cover up, swipe up to reveal the Control Centre.

You should see the AirPlay icon.

6. Press this and select A100 from the list. The AirPlay logo

will now be illuminated. This means that your device will be

playing via AirPlay.

If the Airstream A100 isn’t one of the listed networks,

press the “home” button and try again. It sometimes

takes a few seconds for the network to become

visible.

HINT

While in AirPlay Direct mode, cellular data will not

function. So, iMessage, emails and mobile internet

will not function simultaneously.

More than one device can be connected in AirPlay

Direct mode, but only one device can play music in

AirPlay Direct mode.

If a telephone call is received while in AirPlay Direct

mode, music will pause and restart when the call is

ended.

HINTS

Freeing Your Music

Connecting to a WiFi Network.

There are a couple of dierent ways you can register the A100

onto the WiFi network. One method connects the phone directly to

the A100 using the Apple supplied USB lead, while the second uses

the A100’s web portal via a PC, Mac or iOS-device.

What is required?

To connect the A100 to a WiFi network you will need to have the

following:

• A Wireless router.

• For Option 1, either an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad and the

Apple supplied USB lead.

• For option 2, either a PC, Mac, iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad

connected wirelessly to the network. The PC/ Mac must be

connected wirelessly.

• Airstream A100

Option 1.

This is the easiest of the two processes. It uses the wireless

network security information stored on the iOS-device to connect

to and gain access to the network. All you need is a compatible

iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad running iOS5 or above.

A list of compatible devices for this method of connection can be

found below:

• iPad Mini

• iPad 4

• iPad 3

• iPad 2

• iPad

• iPhone 5

• iPhone 4S

• iPhone 4

• iPhone 3GS

• iPod Touch 5th Generation

• iPod Touch 4th Generation

• iPod Touch 3rd Generation

• iPod Touch 2nd Generation

1. Turn the A100 on from standby mode. The LED on the front

will ash blue, rstly in pattern 2 then pattern 1 sequence.

2. When it changes to Pattern 1 (not connected to a wireless

network), open the cover over the USB socket on the A100 and

connect the USB lead to the A100 and your iOS-device.

3. On the A100, press the Sharing Button (Item 3 on page 3)

4. A prompt will appear on the screen of the iOS-device. This

is just asking if you want to allow the device to share the

security data with the A100. Press “Allow”.

5. The blue LED will then start to ash blue again as per Pattern

2 and turn solid blue when connected to the WiFi network.

6. When the LED is solid blue, remove the USB lead from the

device and the A100. You are now able to start playing music

via AirPlay. Refer to page 11 for instruction on playing music

via AirPlay.

Option 2.

Using this method of connection you need either a wireless enabled

PC/ Mac or an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad running iOS5 or later.

This method of connectivity involves manually entering the

wireless network name (SSID) and security information (WEP Key)

into the A100’s web portal from either the computer or iOS-device

via a temporary wireless network.

Via iOS-Device

1. Turn the A100 on from standby mode. The LED on the front

will ash blue, rstly in pattern 2 then pattern 1 sequence.

2. When it changes to Pattern 1, it is not connected to a wireless

network. Press and hold the Airstream Connect/ Airplay Direct

Button (Item 2 on Page 3) until the LED on the front ashes

white (Pattern 3). This will take approximately 12 seconds.

3. On the device, go to Settings, then WiFi.

Make a note of the name of the wireless network

(SSID) that you are connecting to and also the security

information (WEP, WPA or WPA2) to ensure the seamless

connection of the A100 to the wireless network.

HINT

If you face problems connecting the A100 using this

method, try using the web portal via the PC/ Mac or the

iOS device.

6. The A100’s portal page will now be displayed. Select WiFi

Setup from the list on the left hand side.

7. Select the SSID (wireless network) you wish to connect to and

enter the appropriate security details, press save and then

press the home button.

8. There will be a warning pop up appear, just press OK.

Return your device to the original WiFi network so that you can

the A100 and press the home button on the device

and then retry steps 4 & 5.
