Setting Up the iD84

Updating your iD84 firmware

For best performance, make sure to update the iD84 firmware. To do so, download the free iHome+Sleep app from the 
App Store. Launch the app, then go to Settings/iD84 and follow directions to update the firmware.

Connect iD84 to Power Source

 

Plug the AC adaptor cable into the AC Adaptor Jack and the other end into a standard 120V AC wall socket. Adaptor must 
be plugged in to operate unit. 

The iD84 does not operate on batteries

 (a battery back up system maintains clock settings 

during power failures).

Setting the Time Zone

This unit is a preset clock: the clock is preset at the factory. It’s simple to match the Time Zone setting to your location 
(US only).
1. Depending on your location and whether or not Daylight Saving Time (DST) is in effect, manually set the 

DST Switch

 

located at the back of the unit to +1 to add an hour or to -1 to subtract an hour.

2. Press and hold the 

Time Zone Button

 located on the back of the unit until the Time Zone flashes on the lower part of 

the display.  Press the 

or

 - Button

 to select your time zone. 

Note

: Time Zone is disabled when clock display format 

is set to 24 hours.

3. Press the 

Time Zone Button

 again (or no button within 10 seconds) to exit the time zone setting mode.

4. If the displayed time is not correct, please see Setting Time and Calendar Manually below.

Setting Time Using iPhone/iPod Time Sync

The iD84 Time Sync feature allows you to sync the time setting on the iD84 to the time from your iPhone, iPad or recent 
model iPod (iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod Classic; older iPod models such as iPod mini do not support this feature).
1. Press the 

Time Sync Button

 located at the back of the unit, “Time Sync” flashes on the lower part of the display. 

2. Once sync is completed,“Time Updated” will appear on the display. 
3. If sync was not successful, “Sync Failed” will appear on the display. If this happens, please try again, with a different 

iPhone/iPod if needed. If sync still fails, please see Setting Time and Calendar Manually (below).

NOTE:

 iPhone time is automatically updated to the correct time via cell phone towers. The time on your iPad or iPod is 

accurate only to the time on the computer the last time the iPad/iPod was synced to it

It’s possible to have up to 59 

seconds difference between the  iD84 and synced iPhone/iPod.

Setting Time and Calendar manually

1. Press and hold the 

Time Set Button

 located at the back of the unit until the time flashes on the display. 

2. Press the 

or

 - Button 

to set the correct time (hold for faster setting). Remember to set the correct AM or PM time. 

The 

AM/PM Indicators

 appear to the left of the time display.

3. Press the 

Time Set Button

 again. The year will flash. Press the 

or

 - Button

 until the current year is displayed. 

4. Press the 

Time Set Button

 again. The month and date will flash. Press the 

or

 - Button 

until the current month/date 

is displayed.

5. If desired, press either the
