2. Choose your streaming music service and make a selection. When you hear the music playing on your device move to the next step.

3. Navigate to the Controls Screen on your iOS device, Each iOS version is a bit different, for some, you will swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Others will swipe down from the top right corner. Once the Controls screen is visible, select the AirPlay symbol.

4. You should see all available AirPlay devices that you could connect to. Select ShairBridge to connect to your Distributed Audio System.
