Wi-Fi Network Setup for AirPlay

Please verify the following steps before attempting to connect your iW4 speaker to a Wi-Fi network:

To enjoy AirPlay wireless audio, you must have the following:
-  iTunes or an iOS device (iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad).
-  A functioning home network with Wi-Fi.
Download the latest software updates for iTunes and your iOS device to ensure that you are able to enjoy the latest AirPlay
 enhancements and compatibility.
Download the        

iHome Set

 app for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad.

Have your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password (if applicable) available for reference.

Note:  AirPlay requires iTunes 10.1 (Mac and PC) or later;  OR an iPad (3rd, 2nd, and 1st generations), iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod 
touch (4th, 3rd, and 2nd generations) with iOS 4.2 or later.  The iHome Set app requires iOS 4.0 or later.

1. Verify that the iW4 is powered on.
2. Activate Wi-Fi on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch (with iOS 5.0 or later) and connect to your preferred network.
3. Dock your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch with the iW4.
4. Press the         

Network Setup button

 on the back of the iW4.

5. A pop-up message will appear on the iOS device asking if you want to share your Wi-Fi settings.  Select 

‘Allow’

.

Option A - Connection via Wi-Fi Sharing with iOS 5.0  (RECOMMENDED)

Your iOS device will share current wireless network credentials with the iW4 and a confirmation tone will sound. Verify that the Network Status 
LED is green and then keep reading to learn how to use iW4 to stream your iTunes and iOS audio content using AirPlay. 

If you have an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad with iOS 5.0 or later, we recommend that you use Wi-Fi network log-in sharing for the quickest 
network setup experience.  

Using an iOS 5.0 or later device:
