Charging Your Headphones
IMPORTANT: Your headphones operates on a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
You should charge the battery for a full 4 hours before first time use.
1. Lift up the water resistant cover to expose the Mini 8-pin USB charging port.
2. Connect the Mini 8-pin USB plug on the charging cable to the Mini 8-pin USB port on
the headphones.
3. 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.
4. The Power/Charging/Pairing indicator will glow RED while the headphones is charging.
The indicator will turn Off when the battery is fully charged.
Reminder: Allow the battery to charge for 4 hours before first time use. Normal recharge
time after first use should take about 2 hours. When full charged the battery will provide
up to 8 hours of talk time, 7 hours of music playing time, or 100 hours of standby time.
Switching the Power On and Off
1. Press and hold the Multi-function button for approximately 3 seconds until a ‘beep’ is
heard. The LED indicator turns blue and begins flashing slowly. This indicates that the
power is ‘On’.
2. When the power is ‘On’ press and hold the Multi-function button for approximately 3
seconds until a ‘beep’ is heard. The LED indicator turns red, flashes for a few seconds
and then shuts off. This indicates that the power is ‘Off’.
Pairing With a Bluetooth Enabled Smartphone or Music Player
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 or music player to listen to music and make or receive calls as long as the two
devices are within the Bluetooth operating range of approximately 30 feet of each other.
1. Make sure that your iHome iB75 headphones are in the Power Off mode. Make sure
that your smartphone or music player is ‘On’.
2. Press and hold the Multi-function button on your iB75 headphones for about 5
seconds until the LED indicator alternately flashes red and blue to indicate it is trying to
pair with a compatible device.
3. If necessary, turn on the Bluetooth function of your phone or music player so that it
begins searching for a compatible device.
4. “iHome iB75” 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.
5. When pairing is successful the screen on your phone should show “iHome iB75
Connected” or similar message and the blue LED indicator on the iB75 headphones
should flash repeatedly. Your headphones are now ready for use.
Wearing Your Headphones
Your iHome Bluetooth headphones are supplied with 3 different
sizes of silicon ear cushions (tips) and three different sizes of soft
rubber stabilizer ‘fins’ designed to prevent the headphones from
falling out of your ears during periods of strenuous physical
activity. Refer to the following illustration showing the proper way
to fit the headphones in your ears with the stabilizer fins installed.
Although you must use the headphones with the silicon cushions to
form a proper seal in your ear canals, using the stabilizer fins is optional.
The medium (M) size cushions and ‘fins’ were installed at our factory. If you find that the
M size cushions and fins are either too big or too small for you, you may change to the S
or L size cushions and fins. Start by removing the cushions simply by pulling them off the
plastic tubes. Then remove the rubber ‘fins’ from the speaker housing. Install either the S
of L fins on the speaker housings first, then install either the S or L cushions by pushing
them onto the plastic posts as far as they will go. Make sure that the cushions are
securely fixed on the posts so that a cushion does not remain in your ear when you
remove the headphones.
The two earpieces are marked ‘L’ and ‘R’. All of the controls and the Mini 8-pin USB
charging port are located on the ‘R’ earpiece. Place the ‘R’ earpiece in your right ear and
the ‘L’ earpiece in your left ear. The cable connecting the two earpieces should be behind
your neck.
