Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the iHome iBN97. This product is designed to provide high quality wireless
sound for your iPad, iPhone, iPod, computer, or other Bluetooth audio device.

The dual alarms on this iHome clock radio can be set and used independently, so you can program each
alarm to wake you up to a paired Bluetooth device, 4 separate alarm tones, the FM stereo radio, or a
buzzer alarm. You may set each alarm for weekday, weekend, or everyday operation, and even adjust
the alarm volume separately from your normal listening volume. And best of all, even if the power is out
at your selected wake up time, the SureAlarm battery backup system will still activate the electronic buzzer
alarm to get you up on time.

Along with the included Quick Bluetooth Connection Guide this instruction booklet explains the basic
operation and care of the unit. Please read them carefully and keep for future reference.

This unit features NFC (near field communication) technology which allows you to
wirelessly connect your NFC–enabled device to instantly ‘pair and play’. See your
device’s user manual for details on how to interact with NFC devices.

If your Bluetooth device does not support NFC, you can pair it manually with this
unit.
