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 7 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 iB76 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.
