Once power is connected the hub will start flashing some of its status LED indicators as shown below.

1. 

STANDBY – This will flash red whilst the hub is initialising and will stop flashing once connections 
to the speakers are verified, or after a 3 minute timeout. A white flashing LED indicates the system 

is in mute.

 
2. 

REMOTE – This will flash whilst the hub is initialising and will turn on if a remote control connection 
is verified (press and hold the link button on the remote to connect), or switch off after two minutes 

if no remote control is connected. After initialisation, in standby the LED is off.

 
3. 

LEFT SPEAKER – This will flash whilst the hub is initialising and light continuously when a speaker 

is discovered and then connected. After initialisation the LED will go off and the hub will be in 
standby.

4. 

RIGHT SPEAKER - This will flash whilst the hub is initialising and light continuously when a speaker 

is discovered and then connected. After initialisation the LED will go off and the hub will be in 
standby.

 
5. 

WIFI – This will flash whilst the hub is initialising and will turn on if a WIFI connection is verified, 
turn  off  if  a  wired  Ethernet  connection  is  verified  or  turn  amber  if  no  network  is  verified.  After 

initialisation, in standby the LED is off.

 
6. 

ETHERNET - This will flash whilst the hub is initialising and will turn on if an Ethernet connection 
is  verified,  turn  off  if  a  WIFI  connection  is  verified  or  turn  amber  if  no  network  is  verified.  After 

initialisation, in standby the LED is off.

The ‘HUB’ LED indicator on the speakers will also flash white when initially plugged in. Once connected 
to the hub and initialisation is complete, this will turn red. Once the hub has finished initialising all LED’s 

will switch off, with just the standby LED remaining on.  

It is possible to play music using Bluetooth before you configure the speaker with Google or internet, 

refer to section ‘Playing audio using Bluetooth’.  It is also possible to play audio from external inputs, 
refer to section ‘Playing audio from external sources’. 

If the standby LED remains flashing, the hub failed to discover and connect to a Q Active speaker. Ensure 
that the speakers are connected to power, or refer to ‘Hub operation’ section
