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). The unit will turn on and attempt to auto link to the last 2 previously
paired devices for 10 seconds each, indicated by a 3 note tone and the iH
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
iH 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 2 minutes, a tone will sound and 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 (center).
4. Once paired with a device, the iH 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 turn off the
Bluetooth capability of the already paired device.
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) to listen to audio
streamed wirelessly from your paired iPad, iPhone, iPod or other Bluetooth
device.
The iH 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 iH 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 iH 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.
Using with a Paired Phone
Pair your Bluetooth-capable phone as described under Pairing. While the
Bluetooth Receiver is connected to an audio device such as a speaker or
earphones, you can use the device as speakerphone.

Troubleshooting
Unit doesn’t respond (no power)
• 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 iBT52.
• Make sure the Power On/Off Switch switch is not in the OFF (left) position.
Resetting the iBT52
If the unit becomes “locked up” or unresponsive, you may need to reset it. To do
so, press and hold the iH Button for 6 seconds then rapidly press and release it
twice (2x) . 2 long beeps indicate unit has been reset.
Trouble pairing device/computer with iBT52
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 Receiver, it will automatically link with the last
previously paired Bluetooth device if the device is still within range (about 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 iBT52 from your Bluetooth devices menu. Move the Power
On/Off Switch on the unit to the OFF position then back to ON to begin
pairing (see Pairing Your Device for pairing details).
• Make sure your device is working properly. Check your device’s manual for
details on Bluetooth pairing and linking.
