basics
Using zeppy:
Your Bluetooth connected zeppy is always your MASTER speaker.
Operation of zeppy is different as you might be used to of previous spea-
ker products. Buttons are hidden behind the exible housing and need
some pressure to be reached.
Sound control button to select different sound proles is hidden in the
left corner of the membrane and selected by pushing down the mem-
brane on the left centre edge. White backlight LED will jump to next
sound prole by each press of the button. The reason for stronger control
buttons is to avoid male function during use in water or when placing
zeppy on your body, below neck or head, to experience new sound per-
formance. You will get used to it, once you have adapted to the sensivity
of those buttons.
Volume control:
Short press (you will feel the pressure point of the control button) +or – to
increase or decrease your output volume. Make sure you set your output
volume on your source to max if you want to get full output volume on
zeppy. zeppy will always start up with 70% sound volume setting.
Track selection:
Keep holding “+” for 0,5 seconds will skip forward to next track.
Keep holding “-“ for 0,5 seconds will skip backwards.
Two short press on “-“ will play previous track.

your call AT the phone direct.

6 different sound les by Bongiovi acoustics
zeppy is equipped with a state of the art real time audio
processing DPS® system by Bongiovi acoustics. We
highly recommend you to set any EQ on your music source
to bypass or Flat. Other settings might disturb the real
time audio processing and will result in strange or even
bad sound and distortion.
zeppy is fully charged if all 3 LED
lights (zep) are steady on.

Pick my Tune function:
APP FREE and NFC FREE pairing of multiple speakers. You
can pair up to 7 zeppys with an already Bluetooth connected
“Master” zeppy. (in Total 8 zeppy´s playing same content)
How it works:
Just turn on another zeppy and place it with facing mem-
brane to membrane congruent to an ALREADY connected
“Master” zeppy until you will hear a double low beep sound.
Now the RED LED behind “y” will ash on the new slave
zeppy. It will ash approx. 5 seconds then will turn into
steady Red LED and music is starting to be played. Note
the Blue light will be OFF! Outdoor you will now be able to
walk approx. 50m away from the Master zeppy. You can ad-
just your own volume and you can select your own desired
sound prole on the “slave” zeppy. Indoor you can listen
to music in another room, depending on wall construction.
AUTO DIM LED
zeppy is equipped with automatic diming of the LED lights,
to save energy and to keep a dark room dark, e.g. using
zeppy in a bedroom. After approx. 30 to 40 seconds the
LED lights will all dim off…a short press on the sound pro-
le button will reactivate the LED light without any further
function.
Use zeppy in water:
zeppy is designed to be used on water, zeppy is oating on
water and the at membrane is not creating distortion if it
gets wet. zeppy is able to transmit soundwaves into water
through its entire housing. You are taking a bath in a bath-
tub and will be able to listen to your favorite tunes without
any sound distortion and in addition you will feel the sound
waves on your body.
CAUTION:
Make sure the USB protection lid is 100% closed. After using
zeppy in water, always open the protection Lid, make sure
no water is trapped inside the USB port before you charge
zeppy. Dry up with a cloth if necessary before charging!
After using zeppy in pool water or salt water ALWAYS IM-
MEDIATELY rinse zeppy with fresh water and dry it up with
a cloth. ALWAYS make sure NO pool water or salt water is
trapped inside the USB port! This can create corrosion to
the connector.
Charging zeppy:
zeppy can be charged in powered on or powered off mode,
which means you can use zeppy when you charge it.
In order to watch battery life we recommend you to char-
ge zeppy in power off mode. zeppy is charged by 5V at
max 1,5A. An empty zeppy is fully charged in approx. 4 to 5
hours. After 90 min to 100 min of charging zeppy will have
reached approx. 60% to 70% of its fully capacity when using
a charger which supplies at least 1A.
zeppy is fully charged if all 3 LED lights are steady on…no
ashing anymore, or if LED lights have been turned off if
zeppy was charged in power off mode. Each LED repre-
sents approx. 30% of capacity level.

Output Power Limiter:
zeppy is equipped with a volume output limiter to avoid
male function when battery is drained. With decreasing bat-
tery level, zeppy will reduce the maximum output power
automatically…most hearable if only ONE green LED of the
battery level indicator is lighting up, or starts ashing. ( -2
dB, -3dB, -6 dB are the output level limiter settings linked up
with the LED indicator .

3 min IPX7. Do not expose zeppy to re or any other hot
places. Risk of explosion. Avoid using zeppy under direct
sunlight in a hot environment. Avoid dropping zeppy, which

Scratches and dents might occur on the surface of the
membrane. This is normal and will not affect the sound per-
formance and sealing as long no penetration of material
happened.
