This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.

Checks and possible outcomes

The iPhone/iPad supports the already installed current KEF Connect app, its owner is logged in, the speaker is safely assembled/powered and not previously onboarded, and authorized Wi-Fi credentials are known. If a firmware update is requested, stop for its separate exact instructions; never interrupt an update already running.
