Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the iHome iBT52. This product is designed to provide 
high quality wireless sound  and speakerphone capability to audio devices 
equipped with line-in jacks, and to headphones.

explains the basic operation and care of the unit. Please read them carefully and 
keep for future reference.

Maintenance

•  Clean your unit with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water.

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) and wait 3 seconds. The unit will turn on and attempt to auto link to the 

last previously paired device for 10 seconds, indicated by the        

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     

     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 10 minutes, 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 (right) and wait 3 seconds.

4. Once paired with a device, the     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 activate pairing 

mode. To do so press and hold the       Button for 6 seconds. The 

    Button/Indicator Light flashes blue and red indicating pairing mode.

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).

Powering and Charging the Unit

Using the USB Wall Adaptor

1. Gently connect the Bluetooth Receiver to the Docking Station’s micro USB plug 

and audio plug by sliding the Receiver onto the plugs.

2. Connect the standard USB plug of the Docking Station into the USB Wall 

Adaptor.

3. Plug the USB Wall Adaptor into a working wall outlet. For first time use, charge 

unit for about 3 hours.

Using other USB Power Source

1. Gently but firmly connect the Bluetooth Receiver to the Docking Station’s micro 

USB plug and audio plug by lining up the sport clip with the groove on the 

Docking Station and sliding the Receiver onto the plugs.

2. Connect the standard USB plug of the Docking Station into a power USB port 

on a computer or other USB charging device. For first time use, charge unit for 

about 3 hours.
The    Button/Indicator Light on the front of the Bluetooth Receiver glows red 

steadily while the unit is charging and turns OFF once the unit is fully charged. 

If unit is not powered on and is connected to USB power, the red light glows 

steadily to indicate unit is charging.

NOTE: When the unit is on and not connected to a power source, the     Button/ 
Indicator Light flashing red means the battery needs charging.

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.

tracks and control volume.  Press the     Button to play or pause tracks. 

4. When done listening, move the Power On/Off Switch to the OFF position (left)
