USB 2.0
NOTE: When the unit is on and not connected to a power source, the Button/
Indicator Light flashing red means the battery needs charging.
Using Bluetooth: Pairing Your Device
1.Turn on your Bluetooth-enabled device and turn on Bluetooth capability as
described in the device’s user manual.
2.Move the Power On/Off Switch on the Bluetooth Receiver to the ON position
(right) and wait 3 seconds. The unit will turn on and attempt to auto link to the
last previously paired device for 10 seconds, indicated by the
Button/Indicator Light on the front of the Receiver flashing blue. If a linked
device is found, the indicator will flash blue twice every 7 seconds.
3.If no linked device is found, the unit will enter pairing mode, indicated by the
Button/Indicator Light on the front of the Receiver flashing blue and red
while the unit attempts to pair. NOTE: If the unit is charging while pairing is
attempted, the light will continue to blink blue and red. “iHome iBT52” should
appear on your device’s menu. If “Not Paired”, “Not Connected” or similar
appears on your display, select “iHome iBT52” to complete pairing. If your
device asks for a password, enter 0000 on the keyboard of your device. If no
device is paired within 10 minutes, the unit will revert to auto link mode. To retry
pairing, move the Power On/Off Switch to the OFF position (left) then move it
back to the Bluetooth position (right) and wait 3 seconds.
4.Once paired with a device, the
Button/Indicator Light on the front of the
Receiver will flash blue twice every 7 seconds. There should be an indication
on your device that pairing is complete. On some devices, you must then select
“Use as Audio Device” or similar on the device’s Bluetooth menu. Once paired,
your device should link to the iBT52 whenever within range.
Pairing with a Different Device
1.When you power ON the Receiver, it will automatically link with the last
previously paired Bluetooth device as long as that device is still within range
(about 30 feet). So, to pair with a different device you must activate pairing
mode. To do so press and hold the
Button for 6 seconds. The
Button/Indicator Light flashes blue and red indicating pairing mode.
Connecting Audio Source to
Bluetooth Receiver
1.Connect the audio cable on the Docking Station
to your desired speaker or audio device’s line in
jack. For portable use, connect headphones or
an audio cable connected to a speaker or
audio device to the Aux-out Jack on the
Bluetooth Receiver (receiver must be charged).
2.Move the Power On/Off Switch to the ON position (right) and wait 3 seconds
to listen to audio streamed wirelessly from your paired iPad, iPhone, iPod or
other Bluetooth device.
The Button/Indicator Light on the Receiver will flash blue as the unit searches
for a previously paired device, and then flash blue twice every 7 seconds once
a previously paired device is detected.
3.Press the Button to play or pause tracks. Use the controls on your device to
navigate tracks and control volume from your Bluetooth device.
4.When done listening, move the Power On/Off Switch to the OFF position (left)
to turn the unit off.
Connecting Receiver to Speaker Using Aux Out
While the Bluetooth Receiver is docked in the Docking Station, you can connect
the Docking Station to any external speaker or audio device with a speaker and
aux/line-in jack via the Aux-out cable attached to the Docking Station.
You can also connect the Bluetooth Receiver directly by connecting a standard
3.5mm stereo audio cable to the Aux-out jack on the Bluetooth Receiver and the
other end into the desired Line-in jack.
1.Connect a 3.5 mm audio cable plug to the Aux-out jack on back of the unit
and connect the other end to the line-in jack on your external speaker. Note that
the aux output signal is stereo.
2.Move the Power On/Off Switch to the ON position (right) to listen to audio via
the selected mode.
3.Power on the audio device and use the controls on the device to navigate
tracks and control volume. Press the Button to play or pause tracks.
4.When done listening, move the Power On/Off Switch to the OFF position (left)
to turn the unit off. Remember to turn off your audio device, too.
