If you have an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad with iOS 5.0 or later, we
recommend that you use Wi-Fi sharing for the quickest network
setup experience.
To connect your iW3 speaker to a Wi-Fi network using Wi-Fi sharing,
follow these steps:
1. Activate Wi-Fi on your iPad/iPhone/iPod touch (with iOS 5.0 or
later) and ensure you are connected to the network whose
settings you wish to share network settings with the iW3
speaker.
2. Connect your iOS device to the iW3 using the included iPod
USB sync cable .
3. Press the Network Setup button on the back of the iW3.
4. A pop-up message will appear on the iOS device asking if you
want to share your Wi-Fi settings. Select ‘Allow’.
The iOS will share current wireless network credentials with the iW3
and a confirmation tone will sound.
Success!
Congratulations, you have successfully connected your iW3 to your
wireless network and now you can start enjoying wireless audio
anywhere in your home or office. Verify that the Network Status
LED is green and then keep reading to learn how to use iW3 to
stream your iTunes and iOS audio content using AirPlay.
Note:
Your AirPlay source devices (Mac or PC with your iTunes
library as well as your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad) must be
connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iW3 speaker is
connected to before using AirPlay wireless streaming.
