Wireless rechangable LED color-changing headphones with mic+remote

Introduction

Your new iHome Bluetooth stereo headphones are designed to link with your Bluetooth enabled smartphone or music player to allow you to wirelessly listen to music and answer phone calls within the normal 10 meter (33 feet) Bluetooth operating range. An auxiliary input cable is included so that you can use this iHome Bluetooth headphone as a normal wired headphone to listen to non-Bluetooth audio sources, or keep listening even when the internal rechargeable battery is exhausted. Finally your iHome iB91 Bluetooth headphones include multi-color LEDs inside the headband with four selectable color changing modes so you can always be the life of the party, even when there is no party.

9. Auxiliary Input Jack and Cable with In-Line Mic

The auxiliary input jack allows you to use your iB91 Bluetooth headphones as normal headphones so that you can listen to music on any non-Bluetooth device that is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The included stereo audio cable with in-line mic has a straight plug on one end and an “L” shaped plug on the other end. Connect the straight plug to the auxiliary input jack on the bottom of the Left ear piece. Connect the “L” shaped plug to the headphone jack of your phone or music player. Note: When you connect the auxiliary input cable to your iB91 headphones any previously paired Bluetooth device is automatically disconnected and headphones will power Off to save battery life. Use the volume and track navigation controls on your music player as you would with any normal headphones.

When using the Auxiliary Input cable with in-line mic you will be able to answer phone calls and control certain music functions using the button on the in-line mic.

When you receive an incoming call the music mutes automatically. Press the mic button once to answer the call. When finished, press the mic button again to hang up. Music resumes at normal volume.

To decline an incoming call, press the mic button twice.

To begin music playback press the mic button once. Press again to Pause playback. Press once more to resume playback.

When music is playing press the mic button twice to skip to the beginning of the next track, or three times to go back to the beginning of the current track.

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 iB91 headphone.

10. Color-Changing Lighting Effects

To turn on the lighting effects slide the Off/On Switch to the ‘On’ position.

Your iHome iB91 headphones provide 4 different lighting effects that are selected by pressing the Color Mode Selector button. The lighting effects are:

1. Color Spectrum – the colors blend evenly and smoothly.

2. Favorite Color – press the Color Mode Selector button when your favorite color appears to stop the color blending and select your favorite color.

3. Strobe to the Beat – the changing colors will flash to the beat of the music.

4. Color Pulse – rapid changing of colors with no blending.

You iHome iB91 headphones will remember the mode that was selected before the lighting effect was switched ‘Off’ and automatically return to that same mode when the lighting effect is switched ‘On’ again.

When you no longer want your iHome iB91 headphones to display colors, slide the Off/On Switch to the ‘Off’ position. This will shut off the lighting effects but the headphones will still operate normally.

11. Use of the Hangtag Cord Wrap

Remove hangtag

from package.

2. Charging Your Headphone

IMPORTANT: Your headphone uses a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery to receive and play Bluetooth audio streamed from your phone or Bluetooth music player. It also uses the built in battery to power the special LED lighting effects. 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 hours before first time use. For faster charging make sure that the Off/On Switch and Bluetooth Off/On Switch with LED Indicator are set to the Off position while charging.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Reception is noisy or intermittent

Make sure that the headphones and the paired device are within the Bluetooth operating range of approximately 33 feet.

2. No Sound

Make sure that your headphones are properly paired and connected with your Bluetooth enabled smartphone

or music player. Refer to the “Pairing” instructions in this manual and in the manual supplied with your phone or music player if necessary.

The rechargeable battery in your headphones may be exhausted and need to be recharged. Refer to the

“Charging Your Headphones” instructions in this manual.

3. Unable to Pair/Connect

The pairing settings between the headphones and your smartphone or music player may have been erased

or deleted. Follow the “Pairing” instructions in this manual to re-pair and reconnect the devices.

Turn off any other Bluetooth devices that are not being used to reduce external interference.

4. Some Functions Do Not Work

Your specific model of smartphone may not support some of the functions described in this manual. Refer to

the manual supplied with your phone for further information.

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 LED Indicator in the Bluetooth Off/On Switch will glow RED while the headphone is charging. The glowing red indication will turn Off when the battery is fully charged.

Reminder: Allow the battery to charge for 2 hours before first time use. Normal recharge time after first use should take about 2 hours. When fully charged the battery provides up to 24 hours of working time for the LED Lighting Effects, or 15 hours of Bluetooth audio playback, but if the LED Lighting Effects and Bluetooth audio playback are used together the battery operating time will be reduced to about 12 hours.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Always remember to turn your headphones off if they will not be used for a long period of time. Do not expose your headphones to extremely hot or cold temperatures for extended periods. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or leave them in places such as the dashboard of your car on a hot day. Prevent water or any other liquids from entering the cabinets of your headphones.

Protect Your Hearing

Using these, or any headphones at high volume levels for long periods can result in permanent hearing damage. Always start listening with volume controls on your headphones and your paired smartphone or music player at a low level and then gradually increase the volume controls to a comfortable listening level.

Important Notes

Because your iB91 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.

It is dangerous and illegal (in some jurisdictions) to use headphones when you are driving a car, riding a bike or motorcycle, or operating a watercraft. Be aware of local laws and regulations.

Do not use these headphones in situations where they might cause distractions or prevent you from hearing warning sounds.

There are no user serviceable parts in these headphones. Do not attempt any service or repairs on your own. Refer to the warranty for service, repair or replacement information.
