IMPORTANT: Your headphone operates on a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Although the

discharge during periods of non-use. We recommend that you charge the battery for at least 2.5
hours before first time use.

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 LED indicator will glow RED while the headphone is charging. The LED
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 15 hours of
working time, or 90 days of standby time.
Because your iB86 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.

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 iB86 headphones are switched "Off". Make sure that your smartphone
or music player is "On".
2. Press and hold the Power button on your iB86 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.

for a compatible device.

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.

similar message and you will hear the voice prompt say "Your device is connected". The LED
indicator on the iB86 headphones will begin flashing blue two times per second. Your headphones
are now ready for use.
NOTE: If your iB86 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 iB86 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 Power button on your iB86 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 iB86 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
iB86 headphones shut off automatically to preserve the battery life.
7. Wearing Your Headphones
Your iHome iB86 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.
