SoundSend Bluetooth Update Utility - iOS

Last updated
Follow

NOTE: This update replaces Bluetooth firmware version 1.0.4. If your device shows version 1.0.5 when checking "Device Version" in the SoundSend application, this update is not necessary.

  1. Update your mobile application to Version 1.0.6 (or higher) to enable the display of the Bluetooth Firmware Revision.
    If needed (Check “Device Version” in the SoundSend mobile app in the Advanced Settings tab for FW Rev#). If you need to update, leave the SoundSend powered on for normal operation when it completes.
  2. Install the application “WiSABluetooth” from the Apple App Store.
  3. Enable Bluetooth on your Apple device.
  4. Make sure there are no devices connected to SoundSend with a mobile app.
  5. You may need to unplug the SoundSend from power for at least 10 seconds and power back on before you begin. This utilizes Bluetooth for communication between your mobile device and the SoundSend, only one application can connect to it at a time, including the update utility.

NOTE: Close the SoundSend Application completely before continuing.

 

5. Start the Update app and click "set filename".

  1. After you’ve updated your SoundSend, you may need to completely unplug SoundSend (HDMI and power) and then plug it back in before the Bluetooth FW version displays correctly. When incorrect, the app will display “Bluetooth: 208.208.208,” and should be “Bluetooth: 1.0.5” after unplugging SoundSend and plugging it back in.
