break or disconnection, it is recommended to stop or limit Internet surng.
Sometimes there is an authentication error with an iOS device (common to any iOS
accessory) that causes the device running the iHome Set app to be unable to detect the
iW3. The user may correctly connect the iW3 with the USB sync cable, but the app will
keep showing the message “Please connect your iHome AirPlay compatible device with
an iPod USB sync cable”.
Problems using the iHome Set app.
I’ve selected the iW3 speaker as my
AirPlay audio source, but I do not hear
any music.
1. Verify that the volume is not muted or set to 0.
2. Verify that there is not another iTunes library or iOS device connected to the iW3
speaker.
3. Try restarting iTunes or your iOS device.

5. Upgrade the software on your AirPlay compatible device (iTunes, iPad, iPhone, or
