Your new iHome Bluetooth stereo ear buds are designed to link with your Bluetooth
enabled smartphone or music player to allow you to wirelessly listen to music and answer
phone calls within the normal 10 meter (33 feet) Bluetooth operating range.
Your ear buds are supplied with 3 sizes of ear cushions to allow you to customize your
ear buds for maximum wearing comfort and stability during all kinds of exercise and
physical activities. We have also supplied a set of detachable ear hooks for stability during
the most strenuous exercise.
Your ear buds are have been tested for water resistance and are classified as IPX5,
meaning that they have a high level of water resistance and can be safely used even in
the rain without damage. However, please note that they are not submersible.

PREPARATION FOR USE
1. Controls and Indicators
2. Charging Your iHome FIT Ear Buds
Your iHome Bluetooth ear buds operate on a built-in rechargeable battery. Although
the battery was fully charged when it left our factory, the battery can lose power even
during periods of non-use. Make sure to charge the battery before using the phone
for the first time.
To charge the battery connect the larger plug of the included
USB charging cable to the powered USB port of a computer or
a USB/AC adapter and then connect the smaller plug to the
USB charging port on side of the control dongle, below the
water resistant cover, as shown in the illustration.
The Charging Indicator will glow red while the ear buds are
charging. The indicator will turn off when the ear buds are fully
charged and ready to use.
When fully charged the battery should provide up to 4 hours of
talk time or music playing time at a normal listening level. If operated at maximum
volume the music playing time will be reduced. NOTE: While charging, the earbud
power will turn off to conserve battery power and minimize charging time.
3. Wearing Your iHome FIT Ear Buds
The ‘M’ size silicon tips were installed on the ear buds at our factory.
If you wish to change to either the ‘S’ or ‘L’ size tips simply pull the ‘M’ size tips off
the ear buds and replace them with the ‘S’ or ‘L’ size tips. Be sure to push the ‘S’ or
‘L’ size tips on to the ear buds until they are firmly seated on the
tubes so that the tips do not come off the ear buds when you
remove them from your ears. Using the proper size tips will
insure that you get the best possible seal in your ear canal and
provide the best audio quality.
Note that both the ear buds and the detachable ear hooks are marked ‘L’ (Left) and
‘R’ (Right). When installing the ear hooks make sure you install the ‘L’ ear hook on the
‘L’ ear bud and the ‘R’ ear hook on the ‘R’ ear bud.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Switching Your Ear Buds On and Off
2. Power On / Auto-Linking Mode
PRESS and HOLD the Multi-Function Button (MFB) on the control dongle for
approximately 2 seconds until you hear the “Power On” voice prompt that confirms
the power is ‘On’. The blue LED begins flashing slowly indicating that your ear buds
are in the Auto-Linking Mode and trying to re-link to a previously paired device as long
as that device is within the normal pairing range of approximately 33-feet. If your ear
buds do not find a previously paired device that is in range and turned ‘on’ within 3
minutes they will switch from the Auto-Linking mode to the Power ‘Off’ mode to
extend the battery life.
3. Power Off
To shut the power ‘Off’ at any time PRESS and HOLD the Multi-Function Button (MFB)
on the control dongle for approximately 2 seconds. You will hear the voice prompt say
“Power Off”. The red LED flashes three times and then the power shuts off.
NOTE: The first time you perform this operation you might find it convenient to place
only the left ear bud in your left ear. This will allow you to hold the control dongle in
your right hand so that you can see the control buttons and the LED indicator and still
hear the confirming voice prompts in your left ear. Once the ear buds have turned on
and paired with your Bluetooth device you can then place the right ear bud in your
right ear.
To install the ear hooks thread the cable through he
slot on the ear hooks as shown and then push the ear
bud downward into the hook until it locks in place.
Refer to the following illustration.
To remove the ear-hooks, pull the ear buds upward to
release them from the hooks.
You may place the hooks over your ears first and then
position the ear buds in your ears, or you may place
the ear buds in your ears first and the position the
flexible hooks over your ears, whichever is easier for
you.
The iB71 ear buds have angled tips for a more secure
fit. They can only be worn one way, with the ‘R’ ear
bud in your right ear and the ‘L’ ear bud in your left ear.
The recommended usage is to position the cable
behind your neck before inserting the ear buds in your
ears. The ear buds should be worn with the control dongle on your right side.
Note: Noise isolation ear buds like the iB71 are designed to provide a good seal in your
ears and block outside sounds. You should not use noise isolation ear buds in
situations that require you to hear outside warning sounds
