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.
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.
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.

A network connection between your router and Contour will then be established automatically. When the red Status LED on the front has stopped flashing, Contour is in Standby. 5.
Using AirPlay to play audio Introduction AirPlay allows you to stream audio from an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad to a single Contour. AirPlay also allows you to stream audio from iTunes to one or more Contour devices. Playing audio from iTunes Once you have successfully added Contour to the same network as your iTunes computer, iPod touch, iPhone or iPad, it should be automatically detected. (See page 6 for information on how to connect Contour to your network).
Playing audio from an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad On your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad, ensure you are connected to the same wireless network as the Contour. You should then be able to select your Contour from the list of AirPlay devices. On your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad, the AirPlay symbol will be white when any AirPlay device is available on the network. The AirPlay symbol will turn blue when the iPod touch or iPhone is using Contour as a speaker accessory. Select the track you wish to play.

If the Status LED on Contour is static amber, a new version of software is being installed. A software update takes between six to eight minutes. Note: Do not power off Contour while a software update is taking place.
Upgrading software manually Manual software updates We recommend that you use automatic upgrades to obtain the latest software updates (see above). However, there may be occasions where automatic software updates are not possible due to internet connection problems or if an automatic software upgrade failed for any reason, e.g., if there was a power cut during an automatic software upgrade.
Software upgrade using a directly connected PC If an automatic or manual software upgrade failed and you have lost network connectivity, you can upload the latest version of software to Contour by making a direct connection between your PC and the Ethernet port on Contour. Note: Ensure that any wireless connections on your PC are disabled before carrying out the following steps. 1. Download the latest version of software for Contour from the Pure support site. 2.
