People who use hörbert, especially young children who often playfully press all the buttons, mustn’t accidentally enter hörbert’s SET mode. That’s why we’ve devised a method that can’t be applied “by accident”.

How to enter hörbert’s SET mode without unscrewing it:

  • Press the rotary knob at the top and hold it down.
  • Wait 5 seconds (hörbert may start playing)
  • Now additionally press the dark green button.
  • Hold both buttons for at least 10 seconds, then release the rotary knob first, followed by the dark green button.
  • hörbert is now in Set mode and opens its own Wi-Fi for you.
  • Connect your smartphone, tablet or computer to hörbert’s Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi password is: hoerbert
  • Then start a web browser on your device and enter the following address: http://hoerbert.local
  • You’ll now see hörbert’s browser Set Mode on the display:

Enable/disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and the voice microphone, edit playlists, add podcasts or web radio stations, and much more.
