If you just recently purchased this soundbar then you will likely not need to do an update. The last update posted by JBL was in December of 2018. The latest firmware is V49. To check if you have that version you can do this. From the remote- Press and hold the Dim button for 5 seconds then press the sound mode button and then night mode button. The soundbar will display the FW version, if you see Ver49, you are all set. Just a couple of FYI- It took me a couple of tries to get the sequence down to display the versions. Also the information scrolls rather quickly so pay close attention or you will need to repeat the process if you miss it.

If you wish to connect your phone through Bluetooth, press the Bluetooth button on the Soundbar remote. If you don't see pairing showing on the front panel, press and hold the Bluetooth button until 'pairing' shows up. Then go to your phone's Bluetooth settings until you see the JBL Bar 3.1 and press to connect to it. Alternatively, you can use an aux cable to connect from the phone to the aux port of the soundbar and change the soundbar's source to Aux.
