Please Read Before Use • There is no need to "update" your firmware if your Falcon's outer box has a serial number that ends with a number greater than xxxxxxx20000. • There is no need to use this app if you have already updated your Falcon to version 2 of the firmware. • There is no use for this app after updating the firmware of your Falcons and you may delete the app. • If you are not sure about your Falcon's firmware version, please try to connect by installing the "Noble Sound Suite" app. If the Noble Sound Suite app cannot connect to your Falcons, then you likely have version 1 and need to update your firmware. About the update • Additional Functions: allows the Falcons to be controlled using Noble Sound Suite; • Function Change: Decreased the volume of the voice prompt to 6db; and • Function Change: the lights on the Falcon will no longer blink while music is playing.
