ENGLISH

Multiple Zeppelin Air units can be connected to

the wireless network and used to provide audio

in separate rooms. Each will be available in the

iTunes devices menu, identied by either the names

specied in the setup page, or by default the last

three digits of their serial numbers.

6. Using the Zeppelin Air USB Input

The USB input enables you to connect your Zeppelin

Air to a Mac/PC in order to play stored or streamed

audio, or to synchronise data held on your Mac/PC

with your iPod or iPhone.

6.1 Playing Audio via USB

When Zeppelin Air is connected to a Mac/PC via

USB and its USB input is selected, the computer will

identify Zeppelin Air as an output only audio device.

Specifying Zeppelin Air in the Mac/PC audio control

panel will allow it to play audio data either stored

locally on the computer or streamed via a network or

the internet. The Zeppelin Air indicator will illuminate

green when the USB input is selected.

Note: The table in Section 4 describes all

the Zeppelin Air indicator colours and their

meanings.

Depending on the Mac/PC audio application in use,

the handset may be used to control playback, skip

tracks and adjust volume.

6.2 Data Synchronisation via USB

When Zeppelin Air is connected to a Mac/PC via

USB it can be used as an iTunes synchronisation

dock to synchronise data stored on the computer

with data stored on the iPod or iPhone.

To function as a synchronisation dock, the Zeppelin

Air must rst be switched into Sleep mode by

pressing the handset Standby key, or pressing

and holding the Standby button for 2 seconds.

Once in Sleep mode, pressing and holding the

Standby button again for two seconds switches

the Zeppelin Air into Synchronisation mode (entry

into synchronisation mode is not possible from the

remote handset). In synchronisation mode, a docked

iPod or iPhone will be linked directly to the Mac/

PC via USB so that iTunes can be used to manage

data synchronisation. The Zeppelin Air indicator will

illuminate yellow in synchronisation mode.

Note: If no iPhone or iPod is docked or no Mac/

PC is connected, Zeppelin Air will not enter

synchronisation mode.

When synchronisation is complete, synchronisation

mode can be cancelled either by un-docking the

iPod or iPhone or pressing and holding the Zeppelin

Air Standby button for two seconds. It is good

practice always to “eject” iPod and iPhone models

from iTunes before physically disconnecting the USB

connection. The Zeppelin Air will return to Sleep

mode when synchronisation mode is cancelled.

Note: Cancelling synchronisation mode while

synchronisation is underway may result in data

loss.

7. Zeppelin Air Firmware Update

Updated Zeppelin Air rmware may from time to time

be made available for download from the Zeppelin

Air support section of the Bowers & Wilkins web

site. With the rmware le downloaded to your Mac/

PC, update your Zeppelin Air by following the steps

below:

• Un-dock any docked iPod or iPhone and

disconnect Zeppelin Air from its power supply.

• If it is not already connected, connect the Zeppelin

Air to the Mac/PC via USB.

• While holding down the Zeppelin Air Standby

button, connect the Zeppelin Air power cable.

The indicator will illuminate white to conrm that

the Zeppelin Air is in rmware update mode and

connected to a Mac/PC.

• Launch the rmware updater on the Mac/PC and

follow the dialogue box instructions.

Note: On computers running Mac OS X,

launching the Zeppelin Air rmware updater will

install a Zeppelin Air Programmer application

in the OS X Applications folder. Launching the

application by double-clicking on its icon in the

Applications folder will begin the rmware update

process.

Note: On computers running Microsoft Windows

(XP or later), launching the Zeppelin Air rmware

updater will install a Zeppelin Air desktop

icon. Double-click on the icon to begin the

update process. If the process has not been

run before, a dialogue box will request that the

location of the USB Driver also installed by the

updater is specied (the default location is:

C:\Program Files\Bowers & Wilkins\Zeppelin

AirProgrammer\). Once the location of the USB

driver has been specied, the rmware update

process will continue.

Diagram 9

Zeppelin Air factory reset

Once the rmware update is complete, the Zeppelin

Air indicator will illuminate dim red and the unit will

return to normal operation.

Note: Updated Zeppelin Air rmware may

incorporate new features. Download the most

recent owners manual for the latest information.

8. Zeppelin Air Factory Reset

Zeppelin Air has a pin-hole reset button located

on its rear connection panel. The reset button is

illustrated in Diagram 9. To return the Zeppelin

Air network settings (AirPlay input) to the factory

defaults, ensure the power cable is connected, and

power the Zeppelin Air on. Wait 60 seconds before

pressing and holding the reset button for 2 seconds.

The indicator will ash red ve times.

9. Cleaning Zeppelin Air

Use a clothes brush or vacuum cleaner with nozzle

attachment to clean the grille cloth. Wipe other

surfaces with a clean lint-free cloth. If you wish to

use a cleaning agent, apply it onto the cleaning

cloth, not directly onto the Zeppelin Air. Test a

small area rst, as some cleaning products may

damage some of the surfaces. Avoid products that

are abrasive, or contain acid, alkali or anti-bacterial

agents.
