Setting Up the Unit: Charging
1. Connect the included AC adaptor to the DC jack
located on the back of the charging base and connect
the other end to a working wall outlet. Place unit on
charging base. For first time use, leave unit on
charging base until fully charged (about 8 hours). You
can operate the unit while it is charging. The status
indicator on the front of the unit will flash red when the
unit needs charging and glow steadily red while it is
charging. Once the unit is charged, the red status light
does not appear.
Turning the Unit ON and OFF
1. Slide the Power Off/On Switch located on the back of
the unit to the on position (right) to turn the unit ON.
The status indicator on the front of the unit will glow
blue.
2. To save power when operating on the internal battery,
press the Power Button located on top of the unit to
enter standby, or “green mode”, which uses less
power, but still allows normal operation. The status
indicator on the front of the unit will turn off. Note that
if no audio is detected within 3 minutes when power is
on, the unit automatically reverts to green mode.
3. Slide the Power Off/On Switch to the off position (left)
to turn the unit OFF.

Using Bluetooth: Pairing Your Device
NOTE: See the iBT30 Bluetooth Connection Guide for complete pairing details.
1. Slide the Power Off/On Switch located on the back of the unit to the on position (right) to turn the unit
ON.
2. Turn on your Bluetooth-enabled device and turn on Bluetooth capability as described in the device’s
user manual.
3. Press and hold the Pairing Button (located on the back of the unit) for 2 seconds. The unit will turn on
and attempt to auto link to a previously paired device for 10 seconds, indicated by the front and back
indicator lights flashing blue. If a linked device is found, the indicator lights will glow solid blue.
4. If no linked device is found, the unit will enter pairing mode, and the lights will flash blue while the
unit attempts to pair. “iHome iBT30” should appear on your device’s menu. If “Not Connected” or
similar message appears, tap on this to begin/complete pairing. If your device asks for a password,
enter 1234 on the keyboard of your device. If no device is paired within 3 minutes, the front and
back indicator lights will flash red three times and the unit will revert to its previous state. To retry
pairing, follow steps 1 to 3.
5.
Once paired with a device, the blue indicator lights will glow steadily and a confirmation tone will
sound. There should be an indication on your device that pairing is complete. On some devices, you
must then select “Use as Audio Device (stereo)” or similar on the device’s Bluetooth menu. Once paired,
your device should link to the iBT30 whenever within range.

Using the
Pairing with a Different Device
When you power ON the speaker, it will automatically link with the previously paired Bluetooth device
as long as that device is still within range (approx. 30 feet). So, to pair with a different device you must
turn off the Bluetooth capability of the already paired device.
Playing Audio Via Bluetooth
1. Slide the Power Off/On Switch to the on position (right) to turn the unit ON. The front and back blue
lights will flash as the unit searches for a previously paired device, and then turn solid blue once a
previously paired device is detected. You can then listen to audio streamed wirelessly from your
paired iPad, iPhone, iPod or other Bluetooth device.
2. Use the controls on your Bluetooth device to play or pause audio and navigate tracks.
3. Adjust the volume on the unit by pressing the Volume – Button or Volume + Button. You can also
adjust volume on your device.
4. When done listening, slide the Power Off/On Switch to the off position (left) to turn the unit OFF.
Note: Audio playing through the unit via the Aux line-in jack will be interrupted whenever Bluetooth
audio is detected.

Stereo Bluetooth Pairing for Linking 2 iBT30 Units
If you have 2 iBT30 units, you can activate stereo pairing between them.
1. Slide the Power Off/On Switch to the on position (right) on each unit to turn the unit ON.
2. Press and hold the Pairing Button (located on the back of the unit) AND the Volume + Button together
for 2 seconds to define one iBT30 as the MASTER unit.
3. Press and hold the Pairing Button (located on the back of the unit) AND the Volume – Button together
for 2 seconds to define the other iBT30 as the SLAVE unit. The pairing confirmation tone will sound.
While paired in this manner, the Master unit plays the left channel and the Slave unit plays the right
channel. Volume is controlled on the Master unit.
4. To deactivate the stereo Bluetooth link between the 2 units, slide the Power Off/On Switch on each
unit to the OFFposition (left).
