The iBT562 is powered by a rechargeable battery in each speaker.
MAKE SURE TO CHARGE EACH SPEAKER BEFORE USE
• Connect the micro-USB plug on one of the included charging cables to
the USB Charging Jack on one speaker. Repeat for the remaining speaker.
• Connect each charging cable to a powered USB port, such as that on a
computer or USB AC adapter. The computer or USB AC adapter should
be connected to a wall outlet when speaker is charging. The Charging
LED on each speaker will turn solid red while charging and turn off when
fully charged.
• If the LED flashes red, or you notice sound distortion at higher volumes, or
there is no sound at all, it's time to recharge the battery.
Each iBT562 speaker is pre-synced to the other at the factory for Wireless
Stereo (WS) operation. You just need to turn both speakers on within 10
seconds to establish a WS link. An audio prompt will identify each channel,
and the unit will enter Bluetooth pairing mode.
Note
: Once speakers are linked, powering off one speaker will also turn the
other speaker off.
• Once WSS link is established, the Bluetooth indicator will flash blue and
pairing tones will sound
Select “iHome iBT562” on the device’s Bluetooth menu. If prompted, enter
pass code 1234.
• The Bluetooth indicator will glow solid blue, indicating pairing is successful.
You are now ready to stream your audio. Control and navigate tracks on
your Bluetooth device. Press the
–
/
+ Buttons
on either speaker to control
volume. Once the iBT562 is paired it will attempt to autolink when the
device is within Bluetooth range (about 33 feet).
Note
: To save battery power, the unit will power off automatically after 5
minutes with no audio detected or no BT connection.
Manual Bluetooth Pairing
To pair manually, power on each speaker, then
press and hold
the
Bluetooth Button
located on the back of the left speaker for 2 seconds.
Select “iHome iBT562” on the device’s Bluetooth menu.
Pairing with a Single Speaker (Mono Operation)
To use a single speaker, just turn one on instead of both and follow steps to
pair. If a single paired speaker is playing and the other speaker is powered
on it will attempt WS linking then play in stereo mode.
Note
: If more than
one device is paired to a single speaker, connecting to the speaker on one
device will disconnect the other device.
The speaker must be on and connected to a paired Bluetooth phone to
receive calls. In WS mode, the left speaker controls the speakerphone.
When a call comes in, any playing audio is paused, the Status LED will flash
blue 2X and the ringtone associated with the caller may sound, depending
on Bluetooth device.

Phone Button
to answer or end a call.
