Getting

started

Installation

Positioning the Zikmu

To get the best possible sound performances, we advise you to respect the following

recommendations:

Make sure that you correctly install the speakers at their respective positions: the iPod /

iPhone docking station must be on your right.

To get an accurate reproduction of the bass frequencies, make sure there is a minimal

distance of 40 cm between the back and lateral walls and the speaker. Bass frequencies

will get louder if you place your speakers closer to the walls.

The sound quality of the Zikmu can be degraded if there is an obstacle or a wall between

both speakers. Reposition your speakers if necessary.

Wi-Fi

Before you begin

WARNING: The performance of the Zikmu depends highly on the performance of your modem

/ router.

Set up

Operating system

The Zikmu is compatible with the Windows XP (SP2 and later),

Windows Vista SP1 and Windows 7 operating systems.

Wi-Fi access point

You need an access to the internet to download the

necessary software and a Wi-Fi access point to establish

the connection with the Zikmu.

The sound quality of the Zikmu can be degraded if there is

an obstacle or a wall between both speakers. Reposition

your speakers if necessary.

Identifying the type of connection

The type of connexion you have to establish with the Zikmu depends on the model of your modem /

router: you have to determine whether it supports the SES or WPS technologies.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) or SES (Secure Easy Setup) technologies allow you to

establish a secured connection between several Wi-Fi devices simply by pressing a

button.

To find out whether your modem supports SES or WPS technologies, refer to the

documentation of your device. If you do not have this documentation:

- your modem / router cannot support these technologies if you were equipped with

it before 2007 ;

- there is a WPS button on WPS modems or routers.

WARNING:Make sure you do not mistake the WPS button with a pairing button.

WPS routers

►If your modem / router supports SES or WPS technologies, refer to the Establishing a connection

with SES / WPS section.

►If your modem / router does not support SES or WPS technologies, refer to the Establishing a

connection without SES / WPS section.

WPA2 protection code to establish the connection.

Note: The WEP, WPA or WPA2 protection code is often written

under modems / routers or in the documentation provided with your

system. If you have changed this protection code, use the new code.
