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 fully before first time use. Normal recharge time should take
about 2.5 hours. When fully charged the battery provides up to 14 hours of working time, or 90 days of
standby time.
Because your iB88 headphones use Bluetooth version 4.0 the battery level indicator of the headphones
may also appear on your iPhone home screen, usually adjacent to the phone’s own battery level
indicator, if your specific phone supports this display function.
NOTE: While the headphone is being charged the Power is automatically switched ‘Off’. You cannot
listen to the headphones while charging.

“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 indiator turns to red and then shuts off. This indicates that

5. Manually Pairing With a Bluetooth Enabled Smartphone or Music
Player For The First Time
If your smartphone or music player, such as the iPod touch, is Bluetooth enabled (supports the A2DP
Bluetooth Profile) you may pair these iHome headphones with your phone, music player, tablet or
computer 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 iB88 headphones are switched “Off”. Make sure that your smartphone or
music player is “On”.
2. Press and hold the Multi-function button on your iB88 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 iB88” 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 iB88 Connected” or similar
message and you will hear the voice prompt say “Your device is connected”. The LED indicator on the
iB88 headphones will begin flashing blue two times per second. Your headphones are now ready for use.
NOTE: If your iB88 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 iB88 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 iB88 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 iB88 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
iB88 headphones shut off automatically to preserve the battery life.
7. Wearing Your Headphones
Your iHome iB88 Bluetooth headphone is supplied with padded ear cushions for long wearing comfort.
The padded ear cushions can be removed from the headphone and can be hand washed in mild soap
and water to keep them fresh and clean.
NOTE: Do not use harsh chemicals, cleansers or detergents and do not machine wash.
