Using Your iHome Earphones

Your i-Home earphones feature a foldable neckband for compact storage. Unfold the neckband completely, place it behind your neck with the cord on your right side and insert the earphones into your ears.

NOTE: Your iB14 earphones are supplied with three different size silicon tips (S-M-L) for maximum comfort and to seal out unwanted noise. The "M" (medium) size tips were installed at our factory. If you find that the installed tips are too small or too large for your ears, you may remove them and replace them with the larger or smaller size accessory tips. To replace the tips simply pull them off the earpieces. To install different size tips, push them on to the earpieces and make sure they are fully seated on each earpiece so that they do not come off when you remove the earpiece from your ear. If one of the tips remains in your ear when you remove the earphones, remove the tip carefully and avoid pushing it further into your ear canal. Seek medical assistance if one of the tips becomes lodged in your ear and you are unable to remove it.

Connect the earphones plug to the earphone jack of your music player. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into the jack. If the plug is not fully inserted you may only hear sound from one earpiece.

In-Line Control with Microphone

Model iB14 includes an in-line, one-button controller that allows you to answer and end phone calls 'hands-free'. You may also be able to record voice memos and control the music playback if your specific phone model provides for control of those features through the earphone jack.

NOTE: Not all of the hands free functions are available on all phones. You may find that some functions may work with your phone while others do not. This is due to the design of your specific phone and is not an indication of any problem with the iB14 earphones.

Answer / End Calls

When an incoming call is received briefly press the controller button once to answer the call and speak into the microphone. To end the call, briefly press the controller button again.

Music Playback Control

If your phone or music player provides for this feature through its earphone jack press the controller button once to begin playback and once again to pause playback. Press the controller button twice to skip to the next track, or three times to skip back to the previous track.

Voice Memo Recording

If your phone or music player provides for this feature through its earphone jack, place your phone in the Voice Memo Recording mode, then press the controller button briefly to begin voice recording and speak into the microphone. Press again to end the recording. Note: To listen to your voice memo recording you must use the controls on your phone. You cannot access recorded voice memos from the iB14 in-line controller.

IMPORTANT! Listening at high volume for long periods of time can result in long-term hearing damage. For your safety, do not use earphones if they would prevent you from hearing warning sounds, such as while driving a car or motorcycle, riding a bike, etc. Remember that earphones such as the IB14 are very effective in blocking outside noise, including warning sounds. Always be aware of your surroundings and do not use these earphones in situations that require you to hear warning sounds.

NOTE: In extremely cold or dry air conditions you may notice a slight 'tingling' feeling in your ears when using in-ear earphones. This is the result of the build-up of static electricity in your body. This is normal and not an indication of any problem with your earphones.
