FIRMWARE UPDATES

Periodically, iHome will send ﬁrmware updates ‘over the air’ that will automatically install new features and services to the iGV1. This process occurs via Wi-Fi and usually takes 3-10 minutes depending on connection speed and ﬁle size. A ﬁrmware update is in progress when the Google Assistant indicators on the iGV1 display ﬂash white from left to right.

The unit will automatically reboot once the update is complete.
