Setup Option 2 – Manual Wireless Setup
In order to manually enter your network settings into the AQ Smart Speaker, you can create
a temporary wireless network between a computer and the Speaker. The computer must
have wireless capability, and must connect to your network wirelessly. If the computer also
has a wired connection to a network, you will need to temporarily disconnect this whilst you
set up the speaker. If you use Skype, you will also need to completely close it before starting
the setup procedure.
Step 1
Press and hold both the Volume Up and the Volume Down buttons on the Speaker
simultaneously for 5 seconds until the Wi-Fi LED turns Orange. The AQ Smart Speaker will
then restart. The Wi-Fi LED will flash red as it does when starting up. After a minute or two
the Wi-Fi LED will start flashing red and green alternately.
The AQ Smart Speaker is now in Configuration mode.

Step 2
On your computer, search for the Wi-Fi
Networks available. You should find one
called “AQ Smart Speaker Setup”. Select it
and connect to it. How you do this will depend
on your operating system; for example the
screenshot in Fig. 7 is from Windows 7.
Note: You can also do this using your iPod
Touch, iPhone or iPad. In this case, use
Safari for the next steps.
Step 3
Wait until the network is connected (it may show no Internet access, this is normal), then
open a Web Browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari. Type the IP address
192.168.1.12 in the address bar and press return. The AQ Smart Speaker information
page should now load (Fig. 8).
