2. Charging Your Headphone

IMPORTANT: Your headphone operates on a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Although the battery was fully charged when it left our factory, like all rechargeable batteries it can begin to discharge during periods of non-use. We recommend that you charge the battery for at least 2.5 hours before first time use.

Computer USB port

Computer connected to working outlet

1. Connect the micro USB plug on the charging cable to the micro USB port on the headphone.

2. 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.

The Power/Charging/Pairing indicator will glow RED while the headphone is charging. The indicator will turn off when the battery is fully charged.

Reminder: Allow the battery to charge for 2.5 hours before first time use. Normal recharge time after first use should take about 2.5 hours. When fully charged the battery provides up to 16 hours of working time, or 90 days of standby time.

Because your iB87 headphones use Bluetooth version 4.0 the battery level indicator of the headphones may also appear on your smartphone home screen, usually adjacent to the phone’s own battery level indicator, if your specific phone supports this display function.

“Power On” and the LED indicator turns BLUE and flashes two times per second.

2. When the power is “On” press and hold the Multi-function button for approximately 3 seconds. The

voice prompt will say “Power Off”. The LED indicator remains on briefly and then shuts off. This indicates that the power is “Off”.

5. Manually Pairing With a Bluetooth Enabled Smartphone or Music Player For The First Time

If your smartphone or music player is Bluetooth compatible (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. Note: Your iHome headphones must be in the Power “Off” mode to begin the manual pairing process.

1. Make sure that your iHome iB87 headphones are switched “Off”. Make sure that your smartphone or music player is “On”.

2. Press and hold the Multi-function button on your iB87 headphones for about 6 seconds until you hear the “Power On” and “Pairing” voice prompts. The LED indicator begins alternately flashing blue and red 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 iB87” 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 iB87 Connected” or similar message and you will hear the voice prompt say “Your device is connected”. The LED indicator on the iB87 headphones will begin flashing blue two times per second. Your headphones are now ready for use.

NOTE: If your iB87 headphones are not able to find a Bluetooth device that is in range and “discoverable” after 3 minutes, the headphones will automatically power “Off” to preserve the battery.

6. Auto-Linking With A Previously Paired Device

If your iB87 headphones were previously paired with a Bluetooth enabled smartphone or music player they will attempt to auto-link with that device again whenever that device is within the Bluetooth operating range.

Press and hold the Multi-function button on your iB87 headphones for about 3 seconds until you hear the “Power On” voice prompt. If a previously paired device is found to be within range and turned ‘On’ the iB87 will re-link with it automatically. You will hear a beep tone and the voice prompt will say “Your device is connected.”

Note: If no previously paired device is found after 3 minutes the auto-linking function stops and your iB87 headphones shut off automatically to preserve the battery life.

7. Wearing Your Headphones

Your iHome iB87 Bluetooth headphones are supplied with padded ear cushions for long wearing comfort. The headband can be extended to accommodate almost any head size. There are ‘L’ and ‘R’ markings on the inside of the headband, When the headphones are worn properly the controls will be on your right side.

Your iB87 headphones should be in the Power “Off” mode. Use the volume and track navigation controls on your music player as your would with any normal headphones.

You may also use the one button controller and microphone on the Auxiliary Input Cable to perform some or all of the following operations, depending on your specific smartphone or music player.

Press the controller button twice to skip to the next track, or three times to restart the current track or go to the previous track.

Voice Commands

If your phone or music player provides for this feature through its headphone jack, press and hold the controller button to activate your device's voice commands menu. Once your device has launched the voice command menu you may then speak your instructions into the microphone, accessing features such as hands-free messaging, navigation, voice memo recording, and more. For the specific commands and operations accessible through your device's headphone jack, please refer to the user manual of your device.

NOTE: Not all of the hands free functions are available on all phones. You may find that some functions may work with your phone while others do not. This is due to the design of your specific phone and is not an indication of any problem with the iB87 headphone.
