What's in the Box

Please check the package contents to ensure all items are present:

• OKTO by surula WiFi Audio Receiver
• 3.5mm Male to Male Jack Cable

Setup

Follow these steps to set up your OKTO by surula receiver:

1. Connect to Power: Connect the provided USB to Micro USB cable to the 'DC' port on the OKTO receiver and the other end to the European USB Power Adapter. Plug the adapter into a power outlet.
2. Connect to Audio System: Use the 3.5mm Male to Male Jack Cable to connect the 'OUT' port of the OKTO receiver to the AUX-in or Line-in port of your audio system (e.g., HiFi chain, amplified speaker, car audio system). If your audio system requires RCA inputs, you will need a separate 3.5mm to RCA cable (not included).
3. Initial Wi-Fi Connection:
   • On your smartphone, tablet, or computer, go to your Wi-Fi settings.
   • Look for a Wi-Fi network named "surula_xxxx" (where xxxx are unique characters). Connect to this network.
   • Open a web browser and navigate to the IP address provided in the Quick Start Guide (usually 192.168.203.1). This will open the OKTO configuration interface.
   • In the interface, select your home Wi-Fi network (SSID) and enter its password. Confirm the settings.
   • The OKTO receiver will then connect to your home Wi-Fi network. Your device will automatically disconnect from "surula_xxxx" and reconnect to your home network.
4. Security Recommendation: For enhanced security, it is highly recommended to change the default SSID and password of the "surula_xxxx" network if it remains visible after setup. Access the advanced settings in the web interface to update the Wi-Fi SSID and password for the OKTO's direct access point. Ensure your home network uses WPA2 or WPA3 encryption for optimal security.

   • Open the application and select the OKTO receiver as the playback device.
