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.

1.   Power ON the iW3 speaker and place on the charging base.
2.   Connect your iOS device to the iW3 using the included iPod 

USB sync cable

.

3.   Download our free          

iHome Set

 app from the          App Store and launch the app.

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’.

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.

The iW3 has an EQ feature that is controlled using the iHome Set app to adjust Bass and Treble.

/- buttons: Adjust treble levels between -5 and +5. Default is 0
BASS +/- buttons: Adjust treble levels between -5 and +5. Default is 0

EQ

Option A - Firmware update using iHome Set

Option B - Firmware update using USB mass storage device

The iW3 features SRS TruBass® digital sound processing to enhance the audio performance and ensure proper bass response when listening 
to your music.  The SRS TruBass function is on by default and can only be turned off using the iHome Set app.
