QUICK BLUETOOTH CONNECTION GUIDE
BEFORE YOU START
Your Bluetooth device (cellphone, MP3 player, computer, etc.) must support the
A2DP Bluetooth profile (commonly known as stereo audio profile) to work with the iHome iDM8.
Many of the latest mobile phones and PCs with built-in Bluetooth functionality will support
this profile.For accurate information about your product, please refer to your Bluetooth device's
user manual for details on the Bluetooth profiles it supports and on how to set the device's
Bluetooth pairing/searching/setup mode.
ABOUT PAIRING
Pairing is the term used when wirelessly connecting two Bluetooth devices for the first time.
This allows the devices to "see" each other and creates a unique lasting connection between
the specific devices.
PAIRING & LINKING YOUR BLUETOOTH DEVICE WITH THE iDM8
1) Make sure your Bluetooth device is fully charged. Turn it on.
2) Make sure the Bluetooth switch on the bottom of the iDM8 is in the Bluetooth (right) postion.
Press and hold the Power Button to turn on the iDM8 (release when amber light appears).
3) Turn on Bluetooth functionality on your Bluetooth device. Typically, Bluetooth controls
are found on the device's tools or settings menu (see your user manual). Turn on Bluetooth
connectivity and make your device "discoverable".
4) Press and hold the Play/Pause/Pairing Button located on left side of the unit to put the iDM8
in pairing mode (release when the amber light on the iDM8 flashes and 2 beeps sound).
5) Choose "add a new Bluetooth device" or "setup Bluetooth device" on your device.
It will start to search. If the pairing attempt fails or times out (after 3 minutes), the iDM8
will shut off. Power it on again and start pairing procedure again (see steps 2 - 4).
6) After your device and the i D M 8 have discovered each other, a "Pairing Successful" or similar message should
appear on your device and the amber light on the iDM8 should stop flashing and glow steadily for a moment before
turning green. If your device prompts you for a pass code, please enter 1234. On some devices such as computers,
once paired you must select the iDM8 from the Bluetooth menu and choose "Use as Audio Device (stereo)" or similar.
7) Pairing remains intact when the i D M 8 and/or the Bluetooth device is powered off or is taken out of link range
(30 feet). To re-establish an active connection when your Bluetooth device returns within range,press the
Play/Pause/Pairing button.
8) The next time the iDM8 is powered on it will automatically try to re-establish a link with the most recently linked Bluetooth
device. If your device does not support auto-linking OR was not the last linked to the iDM8, you must re-link manually
by selecting iDM8 from the Bluetooth device's menu on your Bluetooth device or by pressing the Play/Pause/Pairing
button on the iDM8.
