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, the iH Button/Indicator Light 
flashes blue and red. Then press and hold the iH Button for 10 seconds. 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.
