IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT WATERPROOF OPERATION
For proper waterproof operation, make sure the waterproof cover on the left side of the unit
is completely flush with the unit by pressing along the entire edge of the cover until it is
completely and securely in place.
• The unit is IP67 waterproof rated, meaning it is immersible for up to 30 minutes at a depth
of 1 meter (3 feet). It will typically withstand rain, snow and being submersed in shallow
water. Longer duration or deeper immersion that exceeds the tested limits may cause
product failure and void the warranty.
• DO NOT immerse the unit in water for extended periods.
• DO NOT immerse the unit in water deeper than 1 meter (about 3 feet).
• Make sure cover and surrounding surfaces are completely dry before opening cover to
prevent moisture from damaging the internal electronics.
• Keep rubber cover free of dirt, sand, or other objects that can interfere with proper
sealing. If for any reason the waterproof cover is not making a tight waterproof seal water
may enter the unit.
• Rinse with tap water after immersion in salt water or swimming pool.
• DO NOT clean unit with oily soaps or use chemicals or solvents. Clean with damp cloth.

Pairing is the set-up process to introduce your Bluetooth-capable device to the iBT82. Once your device is paired,
the iBT82 can recognize it and you can play your audio through it.
1. Make sure your Bluetooth device is fully charged. Turn on your Bluetooth device and make it
“discoverable” by turning on Bluetooth mode (check in Options or Settings).
2. Press and hold the
Power Button for 2 seconds to turn on the iBT82. The first time the unit is
powered on, it will enter auto-pairing mode and attempt to connect to a Bluetooth device.
Otherwise, follow step 3 to begin pairing.
3. Press and hold the Bluetooth Pairing Button for 2 seconds. The unit will beep twice and the
status indicator LED will flash blue, indicating the unit is in pairing mode.
4.
“iHome iBT82” should appear in your device’s Bluetooth menu. If “Not Paired”, “Not Connected” or similar
message appears, select “iHome iBT82” to connect it. If prompted for a passcode, enter “1234” on your
device’s keypad.

5. Once pairing is successful, a tone will sound and the Bluetooth indicator light will glow solid blue, indicating
the iBT82 is ready to play music. There should also be an indication on your device. If no device is successfully
paired within 3 minutes the iBT82 will default to previous mode. Once the iBT82 is paired to a device, it will
attempt to autolink when the device is within range (about 30 feet).
