Wi-Fi Network Setup for AirPlay

Check list

Please verify the following steps before attempting to connect your iW3 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.

Option A - Connecting via Wi-Fi sharing for iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad (Recommended)

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.
