Thank you for purchasing the iHome iKN95. This product is designed to provide
high quality wireless sound for your iPad, iPhone, iPod, computer, tablet or other Bluetooth audio device and
mobile charging on the go with the included removable K-Cell rechargeable battery.
This unit features NFC (Near Field Communication) technology which allows you to wirelessly connect your

interact with NFC devices. If your Bluetooth device does not support NFC, you can pair it manually with this
unit.
This instruction booklet explains the basic operation and care of the unit. Please read it carefully and keep
for future reference.

• Place the unit on a level surface away from sources of direct sunlight or excessive heat.
• Protect your furniture when placing your unit on a natural wood and lacquered finish. A cloth or other
protective material should be placed between it and the furniture.
• Oil or lotion on fingers can interfere with proper touch-sensitive button function. Wipe touch-sensitive
