Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Split Rechargeable Speakers with Charging Base. The Split is all about options. This unique unit features 2 separate
speakers with individual controls which can be used connected together for great stereo sound via Bluetooth or aux in, or separated for even better
stereo sound image via True Wireless. Each speaker can also be used as a separate mono speaker. Speakerphone capability allows you to listen to
calls from either or both speakers. The included charging base charges speakers for portable use. A micro USB charging/audio port on each speaker
lets you charge the speakers when you’re away from the charging base, and play audio from any device equipped with a headphone jack. Please
read the following instructions carefully before use and save for future reference.
Controls Overview
Each speaker has the same controls and can be used independently (2 mono speakers) or together (stereo). By default, the left speaker (speaker A)
is the Master speaker and controls the Slave speaker, the right speaker (speaker B) when the speakers are connected. When speakers are
separate, whichever speaker is powered on becomes the master when connected to the other speaker.

“iHome Split1” should appear on your device’s Bluetooth menu. Tap to select and complete
pairing. If pairing is successful a tone will sound and the status indicator LED will turn solid.

For other
Each Split speaker can be paired independently provided the speakers are not physically
connected nor in range of one another (about 33 feet).
To pair a single speaker, follow steps 1-4 above. “iHome Split1” or iHomeSplit2” will appear on
the device’s Bluetooth menu, depending on which speaker is being paired:
Left (speaker A= iHome Split1), Right (speaker B= iHome Split2).
If you then physically connect two independently paired speakers, audio from Split 2 will be
replaced with audio from Split 1. The controls on the bottom of connected speakers are then
disabled. If only 1 speaker is paired, it becomes the master and its audio will play through both
speakers.

When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured to ensure your personal safety. However, improper
use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully before installation
and use, and keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take special note of all warnings listed in these instructions and on the unit.
1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
swimming pool or in a wet basement.
2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,
it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block ventilation openings. Also, it should not be placed in
a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, which may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
3. Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
4. Power Sources – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance.
5. Power-Cable Protection – Power supply cables should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them. It is always best to have a clear area from where the cable exits the unit to where it is plugged into
an AC socket.
6. Cleaning – The unit should be cleaned only as recommended. See the Maintenance section of this manual for cleaning instructions.
7. Objects and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into any openings or vents
located on the product.
8. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer.
9. Lightning and Power Surge Protection – Unplug the unit from the wall socket and disconnect the antenna or cable system during
a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
10. Overloading – Do not overload wall sockets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire
or electric shock.
11. Damage Requiring Service – The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. the power supply cable or plug has been damaged.
B. objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.
C. the unit has been exposed to rain.
D. the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
E. the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate normally.
12. Antenna – Do not connect an external antenna to the unit (other than that provided).
13. Periods of Nonuse – If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, such as a month or longer, the power cable
should be unplugged from the unit to prevent damage or corrosion.
14. Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those methods described in the user’s operating
