Setting up Apple HomePod - these steps are necessary

The HomePod from Apple is a smart speaker with the voice assistant Siri. Via voice commands, you thus have the options to access services. However, you can only do this if you have previously set up the device with your smartphone.

How to set up your Apple HomePod

With the HomePod, you have the ability to access Apple's services via voice command. But before you can use the device, you first need to set it up with your smartphone. Make sure that your iPhone has the latest iOS version installed. Also, you need to be logged into iCloud on your iPhone with your Apple ID. Also, the device must be connected to your Wi-Fi network and Bluetooth must be enabled. Install the Home app and, if necessary, the Music app on your iPhone.

1. First, connect the HomePod to power. The speaker will light up and you will hear a signal.
2. Now go to your smartphone and hold it next to the speaker. Then you will see the HomePod on the screen.
3. Tap it on the display and select "Configure".
4. Now follow the instructions. Hier wählen Sie einen Raum aus, aktivieren die Option „Persönliche Anfragen“ und ermöglichen dem HomePod den Zugriff auf iCloud, WLAN-Netzwerk und weitere Dienste.
5. Um die Kopplung der Geräte abzuschließen, zentrieren Sie, sobald Sie aufgefordert werden, den HomePod mit dem Sucher Ihrer Kamera.
6. Sobald die Einrichtung abgeschlossen ist, können Sie das Gerät problemlos verwenden.
