• Slide the Off/Play/Pair Switch on the speaker to the PAIR position.
Tones will sound and the light will flash blue and red to indicate pairing
attempt.
• Place your audio device in Bluetooth mode (often found in the device’s
Settings or Options menu) and make it “discoverable”. “iHome iBT69”
should appear on your device. If “Not Connected” or similar message
appears, select “iHome iBT69” to connect. If prompted for a password,
enter “1234” on your device’s keypad.
• Once paired, the light will glow solid blue and a confirmation beep will
sound and you can then stream audio. If pairing is not successful, turn
the power OFF on the speaker and repeat pairing procedure.
• To listen to Bluetooth audio in the future, slide the Off/Play/Pair Switch
on the speaker to the PLAY position. The light will flash blue as the
speaker attempts to auto-link with the last previously linked unit in range
(30 feet).
• Control Bluetooth audio from your device.
Remember to turn off the speaker and your device after listening.
NOTE: When unit is charging, the blue light will appear solid red.
Using Bluetooth with the iBT69
The iBT69 is powered by a rechargeable battery in the speaker. Make
sure to charge the speaker before using.
• Connect the micro-USB plug to the USB Audio/Charging jack
on the speaker.
• Connect the larger USB plug to a powered USB port, such as that on a
computer. The light on the speaker will turn to solid red while charging
and turn off when fully charged. When the light flashes red, or if you start
to notice sound distortion at higher volumes, it's time to recharge the
batteries.
Charging the iBT69
• Connect the micro-USB plug to the USB Audio/Charging jack
on the speaker.
• Connect the stereo 3.5mm audio plug to the headphone jack or line-out
of any audio device.
• Slide the Off/Play/Pair Switch on the speaker to the PLAY (middle)
position. The blue power light will flash as the speaker attempts to
auto-link.
• Press play on your audio device and adjust its volume to listen to audio.
NOTE: Do not play a Bluetooth device and an audio device connected via
the USB audio/charging jack at the same time or you will hear both at
once.

A Consumer Guide to Product Safety
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.

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. 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.
13. Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those methods described
in the user’s operating instructions. Service methods not covered in the operating instructions
should be referred to qualified service personnel.
• Place the unit on a level surface away from sources of direct sunlight or excessive heat.
• Protect your furniture when placing your unit on a natural wood and lacquered finish. A
cloth or other protective material should be placed between it and the furniture.
• Clean your unit with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water. Stronger
cleaning agents such as thinner or similar materials can damage the surface of the unit.
