Charging the iBT562

The iBT562 is powered by a rechargeable battery in each speaker.

MAKE SURE TO CHARGE EACH SPEAKER BEFORE USE

• Connect a micro-USB plug on one of the included charging cables to the USB Charging Jack on one speaker. Repeat for the remaining speaker.

• Connect each charging cable to a powered USB port, such as that on a computer or USB AC adapter. The computer or USB AC adapter should be connected to a wall outlet when speaker is charging. The Charging LED on each speaker will turn solid red while charging and turn o when fully charged.

• If the LED ﬂashes red, or you notice sound distortion at higher volumes, or there is no sound at all, it's time to recharge the battery.

True Wireless and Bluetooth

Each iBT562 speaker is pre-synced to the other at the factory for True Wireless Stereo (TWS) operation. You just need to turn both speakers on within 10 seconds to establish a TWS link. An audio prompt will identify each channel, and the unit will enter pairing mode. Note: Once speakers are linked, powering o one speaker will also turn the

other speaker o.

If speakers are taken out of TWS range (about 16 feet), the link between speakers may fail.

• Once TWS link is established, the Bluetooth indicator will ﬂash blue and pairing tones will sound

Select “iHome iBT562” on the device’s Bluetooth menu. If prompted, enter

pass code 1234.

• The Bluetooth indicator will glow solid, indicating pairing is successful. You are now ready to stream your audio. Control and navigate tracks on your Bluetooth device. Press the – /+ Buttons to control volume. Once the iBT562 is paired it will attempt to autolink when the device is within Bluetooth range (about 33 feet).

To reset/clear Bluetooth, press and hold the Bluetooth Button for 10

seconds.

Note: To save battery power, the unit will power o automatically after 15

minutes with no audio. Manual Bluetooth Pairing To pair manually, power on each speaker, then press and hold the Bluetooth Button located on the back of the left speaker. Select “iHome iBT562” on the device’s Bluetooth menu. Pairing with a Single Speaker (Mono Operation) To use a single speaker, just turn one on instead of both. To use both speakers separately, place each outside TWS range (16 feet) then turn on and pair each speaker separately with a dierent device. When separately paired speakers are returned within TWS range, each will maintain separate pairing unless one is powered o then powered back on, in which case it will attempt TWS linking.

The speaker must be on and connected to a paired Bluetooth phone to

receive calls. When a call comes in, any playing audio is paused, the Status LED will ﬂash blue 2X and the ringtone associated with the caller may sound, depending on Bluetooth device.

• Press the Phone Button to answer or end a call.

• Press and hold to ignore a call.
