1. Download the latest version (2.0.0) of the Auracle X software installer.

a. Navigate to

PlayAUDIO1U, double-click the iConnectivity Auracle X installer.

3. Accept the firmware upgrade if your unit detects that newer firmware is available. The Auracle X software will prompt you to upgrade if a
