FAQ
1. iPod Integration – Can I sleep or wake to my iPod
library?
Yes. iHome+Sleep is specially designed with iPod support and
built-in iPod controls for navigating your music and selecting
your personal bedtime and wakeup Playlists, Artists, Songs,
Podcasts, and even Audiobooks.
2. My weather widget says "weather unavailable"
The weather feed requires a phone signal (iPhone cannot be
in 'airplane' mode) OR an active WiFi signal to work. To get
your weather feed to function, press the "refresh" icon.
To eliminate the notification, users can turn off the weather
widget by selecting the Weather item in the Software Settings
section of the Settings page.
3. International weather feed (non-USA)
It is important to us that we deliver a complete experience for
all our customers and we are working on updating our
weather widget to work internationally with a new release as
soon as possible.
4. Can I use this on iHome and other iPod speaker
systems?
To use the iHome+Sleep alarms overnight on traditional
iHome iPod speaker systems, users must leave the power on

their speaker devices ON throughout the night (in iPod mode
for system with multiple mode settings). For iHome App-
enhanced systems, alarms will sound no matter what mode
the speaker system is in.
5. My iHome+Sleep app software alarm did not sound
at the specied time
A. Make sure that the volume of the iPhone or iPod touch is
not set at 0 and verify your wake-to volume settings.
B. The iPhone OS does not currently support 3rd party
applications running if the app is closed, which means that
alarms won't work if you exit the app. This is why we suggest
customers use our App-enhanced Speaker Systems to make
sure you always have a back-up alarm. If the app exits, simply
relaunch the app and your alarms will automatically pick up
where they left off.
C. If you dock your iPod or iPhone into a speaker dock
overnight, the speaker dock must be powered ON to hear
your alarms in the morning. Because of Apple requirements
for devices that both charge and play audio, the iPhone and
iPod touch's built-in speakers are deactivated and your alarm
will not to sound if you do not leave the power ON. This is
another reason why we suggest customers use our App-
enhanced Speaker Systems to make sure you don't have to
remember to leave the power on before going to bed.
6. What happens if I exit the app?

The iPhone OS does not currently support 3rd party applica-
tions running if the app is closed, which means that alarms
won't work if you exit the app. This is why we suggest custom-
ers use our App-enhanced Speaker Systems to make sure you
always have a back-up alarm. If the app exits, simply relaunch
the app and your alarms will automatically pick up where they
left off.
7. What happens if I get a phone call or text message
in the middle of the night?
As with all 3rd party applications on the iPhone, the following
will occur:
• An incoming call will interrupt an application, returning to
the iHome+Sleep app when you end a call. If, while taking a
phone call, you press the iPhone's ‘HOME’ button or otherwise
begin using other applications on the iPhone, this will prevent
iHome+Sleep from automatically resuming.
• If you do not answer a call, or a voicemail is left without any
user interaction, iHome+Sleep will resume, ensuring that calls
which come in at night and are ignored by you won't cause
you to miss an alarm.
• An incoming text message will interrupt an application with
the option to ‘close’ or ‘view’. Closing this pop-up will return
you to the iHome+Sleep app. Choosing to ‘view’ the message
will take you to the text messaging app, exiting iHome+Sleep.
To ensure alarm functionality, re-activate the iHome+Sleep
app after you are done with text messages.

8. Do I have to use airplane mode at night?
No, we have designed the app so that alarms can sound, even
if the screen is locked. Using Airplane mode will ensure that
the app will not exit unintentionally, but using airplane mode
will disconnect you from the weather service.
9. How do I activate an alarm?
If you have created Sleep Cards, you need to “insert” the card
into the slot along the base of the screen. You can do this by
pressing and dragging the card down into the “card slot”, or
from the "back" settings view of a Sleep Card, you can press
Save & Set, which will auto-drag the card into the slot. When a
card is in the slot, that card's alarm will be "activated."
10. How do I access hardware device settings for my
iHome?
From the iHome+Sleep home screen, tap the "i" icon on the
lower right. Then press the Settings option on the button bar.
Scroll down to Hardware Settings and select your model
number.
If you have an iHome app-enhanced product, press & hold the
"app icon" button on the product to shortcut to the hardware
device settings within iHome+Sleep.
11. Will iHome+Sleep work with my 1st generation
iPhone or iPod touch?
