Front panel Status LED

When Contour is powered, the Status LED is visible through the front speaker mesh. The Status LED is also used to indicate the various states of Contour, by colour.

Red	Standby (bright) / Starting up (bright flashing) / Sleep (dimmed)
Blue	iPod/iPhone/iPad dock is active (flashing indicates that the connection to
	the docked product is preparing and also indicates remote activity)
White	AirPlay is active (fast flashing indicates remote activity) (slow flashing
	indicates network connectivity problems)
Pink	Aux In is active (fast flashing indicates remote activity)
Blue/Green	(Alternate flashing) Temporary wireless network setup
Cyan	Flashing indicates a software error
Amber	Updating software

Note: For quick reference, there is a sticker on the base of Contour which indicates the most common Status LED states.

Switching between Sleep, Standby and On

Contour has three power modes, Standby, Sleep and On. In Standby, Contour uses minimal power (Status LED is bright red). In Sleep mode, Contour remains connected to the wireless network (once attached) and is waiting for a source to be selected (the Status LED is dimmed red).

To enter Sleep mode, press Standby. Contour will automatically enter Sleep mode if it does not receive any audio from AirPlay or an iPod/iPhone/iPad.

Once in Sleep mode, press Standby to switch to On.

To enter Standby, press and hold Standby for four seconds on Contour, or the remote until the Status LED is bright red. Press Standby to switch straight to On. Contour will flash red for around 30 seconds, pause, and then return to the state that Contour was in before Standby.

Network setup

Contour can be connected to your network using a wireless or wired connection.

We recommend using the wireless connection method, which allows you to position your Contour anywhere within range of your wireless connection. See page 7 for more information.

To use the wired connection method, connect an Ethernet cable between the Ethernet port on the back of Contour and one of the available Ethernet ports on your router. You might want to use this method if you experience sound quality problems or if your Contour is located near your router.

See page 10 for more information.
