Setup
(continued)
During setup we recommend that your phone, B-Fi, and wireless internet
router are within 15 feet of each other.
You may need your wifi password if it’s not already saved on your device.
Install the previously downloaded Audioengine app onto your iOS or
Android device.
Open the app and select “OK" if you want the app to access your music
library on your device.
The app will say "Searching for Audioengine Wireless Hi-Fi System”.
Select "Add Device".
Following the app instructions, select “Settings” to leave the app and go
into your device’s wifi settings.
Turn on your device’s wifi and select "Audioengine B-Fi” from your wifi
list.
The audio voice will respond “You are now connected to your speaker.
Follow the instructions in the app to finish the setup.”
Go back into the Audioengine app.
B-Fi works on 2.4G, so select 2.4G network from your wifi list and enter
your internet router password if prompted to do so.
The voice will then say “Connected to your wifi network.” Select “Next”.
Rename B-Fi if you wish, then select the right arrow at the top of the
screen.
Swipe left 2 times to get to your music or exit the app and go to another
player.
Having trouble?
Try moving B-Fi and your device closer to your router.
Restart your router, device, and B-Fi.
Setup
Download the free Audioengine app from the Apple App Store for iOS or
from Google Play for Android. This is what you need to set up and
configure your B-Fi.
No need to install or open this app yet as we first need to connect B-Fi to
your music system.
Connecting B-Fi to your music system
Connect the included RCA audio cable (or TOSLINK digital optical cable)
between B-Fi and your music system or powered speakers.
Connect the included power cable between the power supply and B-Fi,
then plug the power supply into a functioning power outlet.
Turn on your music system and set the volume level so you can hear the
voice and audio prompts during setup.
The B-Fi Status button will blink rapidly for 15 seconds, then a piano tone
will play through your music system.
The B-Fi Status button will now blink more slowly and a voice will say:
“Entering setup mode. Follow the instructions in the app to finish the
setup.”
If no piano tone or voice is heard after 15 seconds, check your music
system volume level.
B-Fi will remain in setup mode (slow-blinking Status button) for 5 minutes
before timing-out.
To go back into setup mode, press and hold the B-Fi Status button for
about 5 seconds until you hear the voice prompt again.
Connecting B-Fi wirelessly to your internet router
As device screens seem to constantly change with updates and not all
Android menus are identical, the easiest way to get through this setup is to
follow the instructions directly in the app and listen to the voice prompts
through your music system.
