Pairing Your Device

Pairing is the set-up process to introduce your Bluetooth-capable device to the iBT68. Once your device is paired, the iBT68 can recognize it and you can play your audio through it.

1. Turn on your Bluetooth device and make it “discoverable” by turning on Bluetooth mode (check in Options or Settings).

2. Slide the Power Off/On Switch to ON to turn on the iBT68. The first time the unit is powered on, it will enter auto-pairing mode and attempt to connect to a Bluetooth device (if so, skip to step 4). Otherwise, follow step 3 to begin pairing.

3. Press and hold the Bluetooth Button for 2 seconds. The iBT68 will beep and the Bluetooth status indicator light on top of the unit will flash quickly.

4. “iHome iBT68” should appear in your device’s Bluetooth menu. If “Not Paired”, “Not Connected” or similar message appears, select “iHome iBT68” to connect it. If prompted for a passcode, enter “1234” on your device’s keypad.

For iPhone

5. If pairing is successful, 1 beep will sound and the Bluetooth status indicator light will appear solid blue, indicating the iBT68 is ready to play music. There should also be an indication on your device. If no device is successfully paired within 3 minutes the iBT68 will default to previous mode. Once the iBT68 is paired to a device, it will attempt to autolink when the device is within range (about 30 feet).

• Make sure unit is completely charged.

• Check that all connections are correct and properly plugged in.

• Make sure your device is properly paired with the iBT68.

• Make sure the unit is on.

Troubleshooting

Unit doesn’t respond (locked up/ “frozen”)

If the unit does not respond, try resetting the unit. Press and hold the Bluetooth Button for10 seconds. Note that doing so will clear settings, and any Bluetooth devices will need to be re-paired.

Trouble pairing device with iBT68

Bluetooth implementation varies depending on your device’s hardware and operating system. Please see our website for updates on pairing.

• When you power ON the speaker, it will automatically link with the last previously paired Bluetooth device if the device is still within range (approx. 30 feet). To pair with a different device you must turn off Bluetooth capability on the already paired device, or take it out of range.

• If your device does not auto-link when within range, re-pair the device. To do so, first delete the iBT68 from your Bluetooth devices menu.

• Make sure your device is working properly. Check your device’s manual for details on Bluetooth pairing and linking.
