5. If pairing is successful, a long beep will sound and the status indicator lights will appear solid white,
indicating the iBT32 is ready to play music. There should also be an indication on your device. If no
device is successfully paired within 3 minutes the iBT32 will default to previous mode. Once the iBT32 is
paired to a device, it will attempt to autolink when the device is within range (about 30 feet).
Pairing is the set-up process to introduce your Bluetooth-capable device to the iBT32. Once your device is paired,
the iBT32 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 to turn on the iBT32. The first time the unit is
powered on, it will enter auto-pairing mode and attempt to connect to a Bluetooth
device (if so, skip to step 4). Otherwise, follow step 3 to begin pairing.
3. Press and hold the Play/Pause/Pairing Button for 2 seconds. The iBT32 will
beep and the status indicator lights will flash quickly.
4. “iHome SoundFlask” should appear in your device’s Bluetooth menu. If “Not Paired”, “Not Connected” or
similar message appears, select “iHome SoundFlask” to connect it. If prompted for a passcode, enter “1234”
on your device’s keypad.
