The default snooze length is nine minutes. If you have installed SqueezeCenter,
you may change the snooze length:
Launch the SqueezeCenter web interface1.
Click on the 2. Player tab
From the left pull-down list, select the player you want to configure 3.
(this step is not necessary if you have only one Squeezebox player)
From the right pull-down list, select 4. Alarm Clock.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and adjust the slider labeled 5. Snooze
Length in minutes.
Sleep mode
As covered earlier, when the alarm is sounding, the large button on Squeezebox
Boom’s top panel functions as a snooze button. The rest of the time, it controls sleep
mode, allowing you to set a timer for your Squeezebox Boom to automatically turn
itself off. The SLEEP button on the remote control also serves the same function.
Press and hold the • SLEEP button once (or tap the SLEEP button on the remote)
to turn off Squeezebox Boom at the end of the song.
Press and hold it again (or tap the • SLEEP button on the remote again) to turn
off Squeezebox Boom after 15 minutes.
Continue the process of pressing and holding the • SLEEP button to set the
sleep time to 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes and, finally,
to cancel sleep mode.
Display Brightness
Squeezebox Boom has a built-in light sensor that allows it to adjust the brightness of
the display to match lighting conditions. However, you may override this by selecting
Settings > Display > Brightness from the Home Screen.
From the Brightness menu, you can select your desired brightness when Boom is
playing a track, stopped, or off. For each item you can choose automatic brightness
adjustment, or manually select the brightness.
Selecting and Changing Music Sources
Squeezebox Boom must be connected to a music source to operate. There are two
types of music sources:
SqueezeNetwork (a free online service operated by Logitech)•
A computer or NAS (network attached storage) drive running SqueezeCenter•
Your music source (SqueezeNetwork or SqueezeCenter) is your gateway to a wide
selection of content, including music services like Pandora and Last.fm, as well as
Internet radio stations, Podcasts, and more.
Which Music Source To Choose?
If you’ll be listening to Internet radio stations or online music services, you can reach
them through either SqueezeNetwork or SqueezeCenter.
If you opt to install and run SqueezeCenter on a computer on your network, you have
a few more options:
You can listen to your personal music collection stored on your computer.•
You can save playlists to your computer.•
If you have a collection of music on a local computer that you haven’t stored in an
MP3tunes music locker, and you’d like the ability to instantly bounce between listening
to your personal music library and external sources like Internet radio stations, then
you will want to take the time to install SqueezeCenter on any computers on your
network that contain music that you’d like to hear. One limitation of connecting to
SqueezeCenter is that the computer running SqueezeCenter must be turned on.
If you’ll only be listening to Internet radio and online services, or if you’ve uploaded
your personal music collection to an MP3tunes music locker, then you can connect
to SqueezeNetwork. The advantage of using SqueezeNetwork as your music source
is that you don’t have to make sure your computer is on each time you use your
Squeezebox Boom.
