Firmware update

It may be necessary to update the firmware of your iW3 speaker to ensure the latest compatibility and optimal functionality. The iW3 offers
three different methods for performing the firmware upgrade, detailed below as Option A, B and C. You only need to choose one.
Note: If you have access to an iOS device running 4.2 or later we recommend option A.
Option A - Firmware update using iHome Set
1. Power ON the iW3 speaker and place on the charging base.
2. Connect your iOS device to the iW3 using the included iPod
3. Download our free iHome Set
4. Scroll down the app interface and select 'Search for Update' .
5. If there is an update available, a message will pop-up asking if you would like to apply the firmware upgrade.
6. Select 'Upgrade' .
Option B - Firmware update using USB mass storage device
1. Using your computer visit www.ihomeaudio.com/support/product/iW3 and download the latest firmware from
the top right corner of the support page. Please be sure to remember the location where you save the file to on
your computer.
2. Locate the file from step 1 and load the file onto a USB mass storage device
Note: You must load it to the root (main) directory. Do not create a separate folder within the USB device.
3. Power on your iW3. When the iW3 is fully powered on connect the USB drive to the port located on the rear panel.
4. Press and Hold the Firmware button for 5 seconds.
Note: The update process will take around 3 minutes to complete.
During Firmware Update:
There are two indicators on the iW3 to track the progress of the update:
1. The firmware update LED will remain RED
2. The top panel LED's will light up in succession to note the progress of the update (see diagram below)
Note: If the Firmware LED remains unlit this indicates that the process was unable to begin. Please be sure the proper file was loaded on the
USB drive and start over from step 3 above.
