The UE Air Speaker's app-based setup begins with an iOS device already connected to the desired Wi-Fi network. Dock the device, open the speaker app and follow its prompts to name the speaker and select the network, entering the wireless password when requested.

A steady green indicator confirms the speaker has joined the network, after which the device can be removed from the dock. This describes the older model's dedicated setup workflow, where docking helps configure network playback rather than acting as the only way to send audio afterward.
