Charging Your Headphones

IMPORTANT: Your headphones operates on a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

You should charge the battery for a full 4 hours before ﬁrst time use.

1. Lift up the water resistant cover to expose the Mini 8-pin USB charging port.

2. Connect the Mini 8-pin USB plug on the charging cable to the Mini 8-pin USB port on the headphones.

3. Connect the standard USB plug on the charging cable to any standard USB power port such as found on a notebook computer, or the charging adapter for an iPod, iPhone, etc.

4. The Power/Charging/Pairing indicator will glow RED while the headphones is charging.

The indicator will turn Off when the battery is fully charged.

Reminder: Allow the battery to charge for 4 hours before ﬁrst time use. Normal recharge time after ﬁrst use should take about 2 hours. When full charged the battery will provide

up to 8 hours of talk time, 7 hours of music playing time, or 100 hours of standby time.

Switching the Power On and Off

1. Press and hold the Multi-function button for approximately 3 seconds until a ‘beep’ is

heard. The LED indicator turns blue and begins ﬂashing slowly. This indicates that the

power is ‘On’.

2. When the power is ‘On’ press and hold the Multi-function button for approximately 3

seconds until a ‘beep’ is heard. The LED indicator turns red, ﬂashes for a few seconds

and then shuts off. This indicates that the power is ‘Off’.

Pairing With a Bluetooth Enabled Smartphone or Music Player

If your smartphone or music player, such as the iPod touch, is Bluetooth enabled

(supports the A2DP Bluetooth Proﬁle) you may pair these iHome headphones with your

phone or music player to listen to music and make or receive calls as long as the two devices are within the Bluetooth operating range of approximately 33-feet of each other.

1. Make sure that your iHome iB75 headphones are in the Power Off mode. Make sure

that your smartphone or music player is ‘On’.

2. Press and hold the Multi-function button on your iB75 headphones for about 5 seconds until the LED indicator alternately ﬂashes red and blue to indicate it is trying to

pair with a compatible device.

3. If necessary, turn on the Bluetooth function of your phone or music player so that it begins searching for a compatible device.

4. “iHome iB75” should appear on your phone or music player’s compatible devices list.

You may also see a message such as “Not Paired”. Tap on that message to complete the pairing process. If your phone or music player asks for a ‘password’ to complete the pairing process, enter ‘0000’ on the keypad of your phone or music player.

5. When pairing is successful the screen on your phone should show “iHome iB75 Connected” or similar message and the blue LED indicator on the iB75 headphones should ﬂash repeatedly. Your headphones are now ready for use.

Wearing Your Headphones

Your iHome Bluetooth headphones are supplied with 3 different sizes of silicon ear cushions (tips) and three different sizes of soft

rubber stabilizer ‘ﬁns’ designed to prevent the headphones from

falling out of your ears during periods of strenuous physical activity. Refer to the following illustration showing the proper way

to ﬁt the headphones in your ears with the stabilizer ﬁns installed.

Although you must use the headphones with the silicon cushions to

form a proper seal in your ear canals, using the stabilizer ﬁns is optional.

The medium (M) size cushions and ‘ﬁns’ were installed at our factory. If you ﬁnd that the M size cushions and ﬁns are either too big or too small for you, you may change to the S or L size cushions and ﬁns. Start by removing the cushions simply by pulling them off the plastic tubes. Then remove the rubber ‘ﬁns’ from the speaker housing. Install either the S of L ﬁns on the speaker housings ﬁrst, then install either the S or L cushions by pushing

them onto the plastic posts as far as they will go. Make sure that the cushions are

securely ﬁxed on the posts so that a cushion does not remain in your ear when you

remove the headphones.

The two earpieces are marked ‘L’ and ‘R’. All of the controls and the Mini 8-pin USB charging port are located on the ‘R’ earpiece. Place the ‘R’ earpiece in your right ear and the ‘L’ earpiece in your left ear. The cable connecting the two earpieces should be behind your neck.
