1. Controls and Indicators
2. Charging Your Headphones
IMPORTANT: Your headphone operates on a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. We
recommend that you charge the battery for at least 2 hours before first time use.
1. Connect the micro USB plug on the charging cable to the micro USB port on the headphone.
2. 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 for 2 hours before first time use. Normal recharge time after first
use should take about 2 hours. When fully charged the battery provides up to 15 hours of working time,
or 90 days of standby time.
Because your headphones use Bluetooth version 4.2 the battery level indicator of the headphones may
also appear on your smartphone home screen, usually adjacent to the phone’s own battery level indicator,
if your specific phone supports this display function.
3. Multi-Function Button (MFB)
Pressing the button turns the headphones “On”, initiates pairing, answers/ends phone calls, controls
Play/Pause function and turns the headphones “Off’.
4. Switching the Power On and Off
1. 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.
2. 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”.
5. Manually Pairing With a Bluetooth Enabled Smartphone or Music
Player For The First Time
If your smartphone or music player is Bluetooth compatible (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 33-feet of each
other.
Note: Your iHome headphones must be in the Power “Off” mode to begin the manual pairing process.
1. Make sure that your headphones are switched “Off”. Make sure that your smartphone or music player
is “On”.
2. Press and hold the Multi-function button on your 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.
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_B96” 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_B96 Connected” or similar
message and you will hear the voice prompt say “Your device is connected”. The LED indicator on the
headphones will begin flashing blue two times per second. Your headphones are now ready for use.
NOTE: If your headphones are not able to find a Bluetooth device that is in range and “discoverable”
within 5 minutes, the headphones will automatically power “Off” to preserve the battery.
6. Auto-Linking With A Previously Paired Device
If your 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 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
headphones will re-link with it automatically. You will hear a beep tone and the voice prompt will say “Your
device is connected.”
Note: If no previously paired device is found after 5 minutes the auto-linking function stops and your
headphones shut off automatically to preserve the battery life.
7. Wearing Your Headphones
Your iHome 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.
