Before you begin…

You will need the following:

Belkin SOUNDFORM ELITE G1S0002
The latest Belkin SOUNDFORM app installed on your smartphone or tablet
A smartphone or tablet connected to the same Wi-Fi you wish to connect your speaker to.

How to set up the Belkin SOUNDFORM ELITE G1S0002

Step 1:
Connect the AC adapter to the speaker and then plug it into an AC outlet. The speaker will begin its startup sequence. Once it has completely started up, the four status lights on the front of the unit will begin to slowly pulse blue, and the speaker will inform you that it is ready for setup.

Step 2:
Open the Belkin SOUNDFORM app. It will begin searching for speakers on your Wi-Fi.

Step 3:

Since no speakers have been set up yet, the app will ask if you want to add a device. Tap Add Device to continue.

Step 4:
The app will ask you to make sure that the speaker is plugged in and powered on. Tap Next to continue.

Step 5:
Confirm that the four lights on the front of the speaker are blinking blue to indicate it is in setup mode. Tap on indicator is blinking to continue.

Step 6:
The Belkin SOUNDFORM app will search again for the speaker. Once found, it will list all the speakers it found. Tap on the name of the speaker you want to set up and then tap on Setup this device.

Step 7:
Enter the Wi-Fi name you wish to connect the speaker to. After choosing the Wi-Fi, enter the password for the network and tap Next to continue.

QUICK TIP: If the app can’t locate the Wi-Fi or you want to choose a different Wi-Fi, tap on Change Wi-Fi.

NOTE: For security, the password is hidden when you enter it in the password field. Tapping the closed eye symbol will show the characters of the password.

Step 8:
The Belkin SOUNDFORM app will now connect the speaker to the Wi-Fi.

You will receive a confirmation message once it connects. Tap Next to continue.

Step 9:
The Belkin SOUNDFORM app will check to make sure that the speaker has the newest firmware. If not, it will update before continuing. All of this is done automatically and does not need any intervention from you.

Step 10:
You will now be prompted to choose a name for the speaker as it will be shown on your Wi-Fi. By default, the factory-supplied name will be chosen. You can choose to leave it as it is, select a pre-defined name, or tap Custom… to give it a name that is not on the list. After choosing the name you wish for the speaker tap Next.

NOTE: You can change the speaker name later, if you like, using the app.

Step 11 (Optional):
The Belkin SOUNDFORM ELITE G1S0002 has an Amazon Alexa feature. The Belkin SOUNDFORM app will ask if you would like to set up Alexa at this time. Alexa is not required to set up or use the speaker.

If you prefer, however, to skip the Alexa setup and complete the speaker setup, tap on Skip.
