Klimax DSM/3 display questions

Putting my hand towards the Klimax DSM is not waking up the display, why not?

The Klimax DSM has a proximity sensor, (that can be disable in Konfig/Manage Systems > Display). This will only work if you move your hand to the front panel display.

(The Selekt DSM has a similar sensor that will also wake the display if you move your hand to the dial. But due to the machined casing on the Klimax DSM this proximity sensor is only operational on the front panel display.)

I get a flashing volume bars on the volume dial, what does this mean?

This is stating that the Klimax DSM is in MUTE.

My Klimax DSM has a RED Linn symbol on the dial, what does this mean?

If you do not have a live network/LAN connection on the Klimax DSM the Linn symbol on the dial will go red.

If your network cable is plugged in and your network/LAN is alive then check that you have the network/LAN cable plugged into the LAN socket,

After a live network/LAN connection is made the LINN symbol on the dial will turn white after 5-10 seconds.

I get a flashing Linn icon on the volume dial, what does this mean?

This means that the Klimax DSM is in :

• Searching for Exakt speakers after being woken from Standby (typically only flashes for a couple of seconds after waking from Standby)

or

• FALLBACK mode : Fallback is a state that means that the product is waiting for a software update. To stop this flashing either:

• Power cycle (Switch Mains Off for 10 seconds and then switch mains On) and leave the Klimax DSM to startup for approximately 1min.

or

• Use the Konfig / Manage Systems software to upload software in to the Linn Klimax DSM

Display is showing this icon beside the Volume indicator. What does this mean?

Firmware update is available.

The update is not compulsory, just an indication that an update is available.

A Software update is performed by:

• the dial settings to do a Software update,

1. Press the UPPER part of the dial. The front panel display will now show System options.
2. Press the LOWER part of the dial to highlight "SOFTWARE UPDATE"
3. Press the RIGHT part of the dial to select this option.
4. If a Software update is available you will see the Agree to update message and pres the RIGHT part of the dial to select this option.

• Manage Systems - Software Updates,
• IR handset or Linn App.

Instructions on how to do this update are listed HERE

Is it normal that the Klimax DSM display cannot always stay on? Can I adjust the display timeout?

We aimed for an unobtrusive display when idle. The display automatically activates, drawing the user's attention, when there is a change in DSM state to communicate. E.g. changes to volume, source or track would all cause the display to activate. It is also possible to manually activate the display at any other time by pressing the 'i' (information) button on the handset or by moving towards the Klimax DSM front panel display , activating its proximity sensor.

What does the shimmering dial mean?

This is to show that the Klimax DSM is starting up after a mains power on.

It will typically do this for 30-45 seconds, but if the Linn Klimax DSM is performing a software update this may take a little longer.
