IHOME IBN4 (01) PDF DOCUMENT

The IHOME IBN4 system includes:

• iBN4 system

• 100V-240V universal AC adaptor

• 3.5mm stereo audio cable

The handle of the IHOME IBN4 can be placed in two positions: upright for carrying, or back for general use or tilt-back play.

The IHOME IBN4 can be operated using the included AC adaptor or its internal rechargeable battery. To charge the unit, connect the included AC adaptor to the DC jack on the back of the unit and connect the other end to a working wall outlet. The internal battery charges when connected to power. For the first use, you should charge the battery completely, which takes about 6 hours.

The battery indicator on the display shows the battery’s charge status. The icon will appear full when completely charged and will show a lower level as the battery depletes, indicating when it needs charging.

When the IHOME IBN4 is operating on battery power, the display will automatically shut off after 5 seconds to conserve power.

1. Turn on your Bluetooth-enabled/NFC-enabled device and ensure its NFC capability is turned on (typically found in ‘Settings’).

2. Place your NFC-enabled device in play mode.

3. Turn the Power/Mode Dial on the IHOME IBN4 to the Bluetooth mode.

4. Touch the ‘N’ area of your playing NFC device against the ‘N’ antenna on top of the IHOME IBN4. The unit will enter automatic pairing mode, a tone will sound, and “PAIR” will flash on the display. If prompted, accept the Bluetooth pairing. “iHome iBN4” will appear in your device’s Bluetooth menu.

5. Once paired, the PAIR indicator will stop flashing, the Bluetooth icon will remain on the display, and your music will play through the unit.

6. Use the controls on your device to play, pause, and navigate tracks.
