2. Charging Your iHome Ear Buds
Your iHome Bluetooth ear buds operate on a built-in rechargeable battery. Although
the battery was fully charged when it left our factory, the battery can lose power even
during periods of non-use. Make sure to charge the battery before using the phone
for the first time.
To charge the battery connect the larger plug of the included
USB charging cable to the powered USB port of a computer or
a USB/AC adapter and then connect the smaller plug to the
USB charging port on side of the control dongle as shown in
the illustration.
The Charging Indicator will glow red while the ear buds are charging. The indicator will
turn off when the ear buds are fully charged and ready to use.
When fully charged the battery should provide up to 5 hours of talk time or music
playing time at a normal listening level. If operated at maximum volume the music
playing time will be reduced.
NOTE
: While charging, the earbud power will turn off to
conserve battery power and minimize charging time.
3. Wearing Your iHome Ear Buds
The ‘M’ size silicon tips were installed on the ear buds at our factory.
If you wish to change to either the ‘S’ or ‘L’ size tips simply pull the ‘M’ size tips off
the ear buds and replace them with the ‘S’ or ‘L’ size tips. Be
sure to push the ‘S’ or ‘L’ size tips on to the ear buds until they
are firmly seated on the tubes so that the tips do not come off
the ear buds when you remove them from your ears. Using the
proper size tips will insure that you get the best possible seal in
your ear canal and provide the best audio quality.
The recommended usage is to position the cable behind your neck before inserting
the ear buds in your ears. The ear buds should be worn with the control dongle on
your right side.
Note: Noise isolation ear buds like the iB82 are designed to provide a good seal in
your ears and block outside sounds. You should not use noise isolation ear buds in
situations that require you to hear outside warning sounds.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Power On / Auto Pairing/Auto-Linking Mode
The first time you power on your ear buds, they will enter pairing mode and attempt to
connect to your Bluetooth device. After that, the ear buds will attempt to auto-link to
the last paired Bluetooth device when powered on.
Auto Pairing/First Time Power ON: Make sure that Bluetooth mode on your device is
on. (refer to your device’s instructions if necessary). PRESS and HOLD the
Multi-Function Button (MFB) on the control dongle for about 2 seconds until you hear
the “Power On” voice prompt confirming the power is ‘On’. The red and blue LEDs will
flash and a voice pormpt will announce “Pairing”. Select “iHome iB82” on your device
to complete pairing.
NOTE: If your Bluetooth device asks for a Password or a PIN to complete the pairing
process, enter “0000” on the keypad of your device.
You will hear the voice prompt say “Your device is connected”, “iHome iB82
Connected” will appear on your device’s Bluetooth menu and the LED indicator will
slowly flash blue when you are successfully paired.
You are now ready to begin streaming music wirelessly from your Bluetooth device to
your iHome iB82 Bluetooth ear buds.
Auto Linking: If a device is already paired to your earbuds when powered on, the blue
LED on the unit begins flashing slowly, indicating that your ear buds are in the
Auto-Linking Mode and trying to re-link to a previously paired device as long as that
device is within the normal pairing range of approximately 33-feet. If your ear buds do
not find a previously paired device that is in range and turned ‘on’ within 3 minutes they
will switch from the Auto-Linking mode to the Power ‘Off’ mode to extend the battery
life.
2. Power Off
To shut the power ‘Off’ at any time PRESS and HOLD the Multi-Function Button (MFB)
on the control dongle for about 6 seconds. You will hear the voice prompt say “Power
Off”. The red LED flashes three times and then the power shuts off.
4. Connect Ear Buds
The ear buds connect to each other with built-in magnets
in each of the ear buds to keep the buds together around
your neck when you have removed them from your ears.
