Squeezebox™ Boom User Guide 7
H. sleep, on the top panel, has three purposes. During normal use, tapping
it quickly displays the current time. Holding it down for a few seconds
activates the sleep timer to turn the power off after a period of time you
specify, between 15 and 90 minutes.
sleep also acts as a snooze button,
pausing the alarm for a preselected amount of time after it has been
activated.
Tips and Tricks For Using the Controls
The remote control uses infrared light to communicate with •
Squeezebox Boom. The infrared sensor is on Boom’s front panel, so
for best results, use the remote while you are in front of Boom and
within line of sight. If you would like information on the multi-room
Squeezebox Controller, see Using Boom as part of a whole-house
system later in this guide.
Squeezebox Boom does not have a dedicated “stop” button. This •
is because it works much like an MP3 or CD player, allowing you to
pause your music and return to it at any time. Tapping pause pauses
the track; if you want to stop playing the track, press and hold pause.
Selecting a track, artist, album, genre or another playlist from your •
music collection or from an online music service and pressing play
will clear the current playlist (called Now Playing) from memory and
create a new playlist from the item you’ve selected. If you would
like to add the selected item to the end of Now Playing, press add
instead. If you press and hold add, the selected item will be be
inserted into Now Playing so that it plays next.
The Snooze button has a default waiting period of nine minutes. See •
Squeezebox Boom’s Alarm, later in this guide, for instructions for
changing the delay time.
