Introduction
Eliminate cumbersome wires and cords while enjoying rich, detailed music with improved bottom response. The Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to listen to audio up to 33 feet away, and the padded headband and ear cushions make for comfortable extended listening. A rechargeable battery offers continuous use for 12 hours. You can make wireless phone calls thanks to the built-in echo-cancelling microphone, and the on-ear touch controls make it simple to choose the music, pause/play, answer/end calls, and adjust the volume. The user experience with Bluetooth pairing and UI confirmations is improved with voice prompts. You can use Siri and Google Voice through voice activation to make phone calls, play music, create reminders, and more.
Your new iHome Bluetooth stereo headphones are designed to link with your Bluetooth enabled smartphone or music player to allow you to wirelessly listen to music and answer phone calls within the normal 10 meter (33 feet) Bluetooth operating range.
What’s Included
PREPARATION FOR USE
- Controls and Indicators
- Charging Your Headphones IMPORTANT: Your headphones operate on a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Although the battery was fully charged when it left our factory, like all rechargeable batteries it can begin to discharge during periods of non-use. We recommend that you charge the battery for at least 1.5 hours before first time use.
- Connect the micro USB plug on the charging cable to the micro USB port on the headphone.
- Connect the standard USB plug on the charging cable to any standard USB power port such as found on a notebook computer, or the charging adapter for an iPod, iPhone, etc. The Power/Charging/Pairing indicator will glow RED while the headphone is charging. The indicator will turn off when the battery is fully charged. Reminder: Allow the battery to charge fully before first time use. Normal recharge time should take about 1.5 hours. When fully charged the battery provides up to 16 hours of working time, or 90 days of standby time. Because your iB92 headphones use Bluetooth version 4.1 the battery level indicator of the headphones may also appear on your iPhone home screen, usually adjacent to the phone’s own battery level indicator, if your specific phone supports this display function.
- Multi-Function Button (MFB) Slide and hold toggle switch on headphones for power on/off, back track/next track and volume up/down.
- Switching the Power On and Off Press and hold the Multi-function button for approximately 3 seconds. The voice prompt will say “Power On” and the LED indicator turns BLUE and flashes two times per second. If the headphones have not been previously paired to a Bluetooth device, the headphones will enter auto-pairing mode and voice prompt “Pairing”.
When the power is “On” press and hold the Multi-function button for approximately 3 seconds. The voice prompt will say “Power Off”. The LED indicator remains on briefly and then shuts off. This indicates that the power is “Off”.
Manually Pairing With a Bluetooth Enabled Smartphone or Music Player For The First Time
If your smartphone or music player, such as the iPod touch, is Bluetooth enabled (supports the A2DP Bluetooth Profile) you may pair these iHome headphones with your phone, music player, tablet or computer to listen to music and make or receive calls as long as the two devices are within the Bluetooth operating range of approximately 33-feet of each other.
Note: Your iHome headphones must be in the Power “Off” mode to begin the manual pairing process.
- Make sure that your iHome iB92 headphones are switched “Off”. Make sure that your smartphone or music player is “On”.
- Press and hold the Multi-function button on your iB92 headphones for about 6 seconds until you hear the “Power On” and “Pairing” voice prompts. The LED indicator begins alternately flashing blue and red to indicate it is trying to pair with a compatible device.
- If necessary, turn on the Bluetooth function of your phone or music player so that it begins searching for a compatible device.
- “iHome iB92” should appear on your phone or music player’s compatible devices list. You may also see a message such as “Not Paired”. Tap on that message to complete the pairing process. If your phone or music player asks for a “password” to complete the pairing process, enter ‘0000’ on the keypad of your phone or music player.
- When pairing is successful the screen on your phone should show “iHome iB92 Connected” or similar message and you will hear the voice prompt say “Your device is connected”. The LED indicator on the iB92 headphones will begin flashing blue two times per second. Your headphones are now ready for use.
NOTE: If your iB92 headphones are not able to find a Bluetooth device that is in range and “discoverable” after 3 minutes, the headphones will automatically power “Off” to preserve the battery.
Auto-Linking With A Previously Paired Device
If your iB92 headphones were previously paired with a Bluetooth enabled smartphone or music player they will attempt to auto-link with that device again whenever that device is within the Bluetooth operating range.
Press and hold the Multi-function button on your iB92 headphones for about 3 seconds until you hear the “Power On” voice prompt. If a previously paired device is found to be within range and turned ‘On’ the iB92 will re-link with it automatically. You will hear the voice prompt say “Your device is connected.”
Note: If no previously paired device is found after 3 minutes the auto-linking function stops and your iB92 headphones shut off automatically to preserve the battery life.
Wearing Your Headphones
Your iHome iB92 Bluetooth headphones are supplied with padded ear cushions for long wearing comfort. The headband can be extended to accommodate almost any head size. There are ‘L’ and ‘R’ markings on the inside of the headband, When the headphones are worn properly the controls will be on your right side.
Using Your Headphones
Note: Some of the functions described below may not be supported on your specific smartphone. Check with your smartphone owner’s manual to confirm the features supported by your phone.
Auxiliary Input Jack
The auxiliary input jack allows you to use your iB92 Bluetooth headphones as normal headphones so that you can listen to music on any non-Bluetooth device that is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Connect a stereo audio cable (not included) with 3.5mm plugs on both ends to the auxiliary input jack on the bottom of the ‘L’ earpiece of your iB92 headphones, and to the headphone jack of your auxiliary music source.
Your iB92 headphones should be in the Power “Off” mode. Use the volume and track navigation controls on your music player as your would with any normal headphones.
