2. Installing Your Zeppelin
Your Zeppelin requires a mains power supply to
operate so it must be located within reach of a mains
socket. If your Zeppelin is to use a wired connection
to your home network, it will need to be located
within reach of an appropriate network (Ethernet)
cable and use a USB-C to Ethernet adaptor – see
section 2.1.
Your Zeppelin can be placed on a shelf, table
or furniture unit, or it can be wall-mounted on a
dedicated wall bracket which is available as an
accessory to purchase online.
If you decide to place your Zeppelin on a shelf,
ensure that the shelf is easily able to support the
weight. The audio performance may be diminished
if mounting furniture or shelf panels are flimsy or
resonant.
Note: If your Zeppelin is to be mounted on a wall
bracket, be sure to install the bracket in line with
its included instructions. If you are unsure of the
suitability of a wall, or of your ability to install the
wall bracket, you should engage specialist help.
Stud-work and plasterboard walls are unlikely to
provide adequate strength or rigidity to support a
Zeppelin speaker and bracket.
Like the vast majority of speakers, your Zeppelin
radiates sound energy not only forward but also to
the side and rear. Consequently, if your Zeppelin is
positioned close to room boundaries, or particularly
in a corner, bass may become overemphasised.
If you find that bass from your Zeppelin is too
prominent, moving it to an alternative position may
be beneficial, or you can lower the bass level via the
Bowers & Wilkins Music App Settings menu.
2.1 Connections
In addition to a mains power socket, your Zeppelin
speaker also has a USB-C connection for service.
It is possible to connect the Zeppelin to a wired
(Ethernet) connection with the use of an Ethernet-to-
USB-C adaptor (not supplied).
2.2 Switching On and Off
With all connections made, and the Bowers &
Wilkins Music App installed on your mobile device,
your Zeppelin is ready to be set up. Your Zeppelin
has no mains power switch and once connected
to mains will run a short start-up routine before
being ready to use. The start-up routine includes
booting up the speaker, connecting to the network
and establishing a link to any streaming services
and, therefore, can take some time to complete.
During this time the Multifunction button will flash
white during boot up and amber when establishing
a network connection. It will play an audio prompt
when its start-up routine is complete.
When a Zeppelin that has not been previously
used is first switched on, it will automatically enter
setup mode to enable its connection to your home
network. Setup mode is indicated by a slow amber
pulse illumination of the Multifunction button (see
Diagram 1). The Zeppelin will also appear in the
Bowers & Wilkins Music App as available for set up,
either as a pop-up or after selecting 'Add Product'
from the app Settings page.
Your Zeppelin manages its operational state and
power consumption entirely automatically and will
switch to a power saving mode after twenty minutes
of inactivity. There is no need ever to switch off your
Zeppelin, however, should you wish to do so, simply
disconnect it from the mains power. Your Zeppelin
will retain its settings without mains power.
3. Restarting / Rebooting
You can restart a Zeppelin speaker with a short
press and release of the Reset button located on the
rear panel (see Diagram 1). Pressing the button will
reboot the Zeppelin off and on again. All settings will
be retained when your Zeppelin restarts. You can
also restart your Zeppelin via the Bowers & Wilkins
Music App Settings page.

4. Factory Reset

If you wish to reset your Zeppelin to its factory
default settings, press and hold the Reset button for
five seconds. The Reset button location can be seen
in Diagram 1. The reset process will be indicated
by a red Multifunction button and an audio queue;
this process will shut down the Zeppelin. On restart,
your Zeppelin will enter setup mode. All settings will
be deleted when your Zeppelin resets. You can also
reset your Zeppelin via the Bowers & Wilkins Music
App Settings menu.
5. Setting up on a Network
With your Zeppelin in setup mode and with its
Multifunction button pulsing slowly amber, launch the
Bowers & Wilkins Music App on your iOS or Android
device. The app will guide you with prompts through
the setup process.
Note: Zeppelin employs a Bluetooth connection
to the device running the Bowers & Wilkins
Music App during the setup process. Bluetooth
signals have a relatively short range and can
be interrupted by room boundaries, so we
recommend that your Zeppelin and Bowers &
Wilkins Music App device remain close to the
product during the setup process.

The Bowers & Wilkins Music App requires you to
create a user account. When you first download the
app, you will be asked to sign into your account if
you already have one, or create an account. You will
need to input a username and password. You can
also modify the notifications for your account before
setting up. Once you have created an account, you
will need to validate the email address by clicking the
link that will have been sent to your email address.
The Bowers & Wilkins Music App will first search
for any products in setup mode and then will
automatically prompt you to start the setup process.
Alternatively, you can set up a new product from the
Settings menu by selecting 'Add Product' under the
'Your Devices' section.
The setup process in the Bowers & Wilkins Music
App will ask you to name the 'Space' in which your
Zeppelin is to be used. A list of suggested space
names is provided but you can also create your own.
When you have selected or created a space name,
the app will ask you to press the Multifunction button
on the top of your Zeppelin to confirm the selection.
If a wireless network connection is to be used for
your Zeppelin, the next setup stage is to connect
your Zeppelin to your home WiFi network. The app
will ask you to confirm the correct WiFi network and
ask you to input its password. Alternatively, if your
Zeppelin is connected to your network router using
an Ethernet cable and a USB-C to Ethernet adaptor,
this stage of the setup process will be bypassed.
Note: If you already have other Bowers & Wilkins
compatible products connected to your WiFi
network, the Zeppelin will not require you to
input your WiFi password as this will be shared
securely via the Quick Connect function.
With WiFi network configuration and space selection
complete, your Zeppelin is ready for use. Your
Zeppelin will play an audio prompt to confirm
successful setup.
