USB Firmware Update
To update the firmware by USB memory stick the update firmware
needs to be downloaded first.
1. On your PC/ Mac open the internet browser and go to www.
airstream-ma.com and navigate to either the A100 page or
the Support page.
2. Download and save the update file to the USB stick. The
memory stick MUST be formated in FAT32 format and the
update file saved in the root folder. The A100 will not see
the update file if it is saved in a sub folder. When it has been
copied/ saved, safely remove the USB stick.
3. Remove the power from the A100. When the power button LED
has gone out, insert the USB stick.
4. Reconnect the power and turn on the A100. Wake it from
standby (if necessary). It will then go through it's boot up
procedure and may even go to the last selected source. It will
then start to slowly flash white (pattern 1.)
5. Press and hold the standby button on the A100 until the LED
is solid white.
6. Release the button and the LED will then go through various
states and colour changes indicating different stages of the
update process:
White (Flashing very fast) - Updating the firmware.
Cyan
(Illuminated for 2 seconds)
OFF - Update complete.
HINT
If the LED is slowly flashing red, the update has
failed. Try repeating the above steps for installing
the update or try the USB method as outlined next.
7. Once the update has been successfully completed, it will then go
through the initial start up procedure as described on page 4.
8. You may then need to reconnect the A100 back to your WiFi
network as described on page 6.
