iHome IBT232 Clock Radio Details

The iHome iBT232 is a bedside clock radio that also works as a wireless speaker. To set it up, plug the AC adapter into the DC jack on the back and into a wall outlet that is not controlled by a switch, then extend the FM antenna. Install the two AA backup batteries before you first use the unit. For daily care, wipe the unit with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water. Solvents such as benzene or thinner can damage its surface.

The battery backup circuit keeps the time and alarm settings during a temporary power interruption. If the power is out, it also runs the buzzer alarm so you still wake up on time. When the batteries are weak or missing, "LO BATT" flashes twice on the display at power-on. Replace the batteries while the unit is still plugged in so your settings are kept. Otherwise you will need to reset the time and alarms.

The display has a PM indicator on the left; there is no AM indicator, so take care when setting times. The Snooze/Display Dimmer Button has two jobs. While an alarm is sounding, it snoozes the alarm, and you can snooze several times. The rest of the time, it cycles through the brightness levels, one of which turns the display off completely. Holding it for 2 seconds opens the snooze duration setting.

Each alarm is set in a guided sequence: time, schedule, wake source and alarm volume. Every step must be completed while the display is flashing. If you wait too long, setting mode times out but saves any changes you have made. Pressing an alarm button once shows its current alarm time and switches it on or off. An armed alarm shows its icon on the display and its button lights up. Pressing Power or the matching alarm button stops a sounding alarm and resets it for the same time the next day.

If you choose to wake to Bluetooth and no linked device is found at alarm time, the unit plays tone t1 instead. When waking to radio, you can choose one of your presets or tune to any station manually. In sleep mode, the sleep volume is stored separately from the other volume settings. Pressing the Sleep button during sleep mode shows how much time is left. On FM, holding the tuning buttons scans to the next clear station.

In Bluetooth mode, "bt" appears on the display and the Bluetooth Button glows green. The Play/Pause Button plays or pauses audio, and the arrow buttons skip to the previous or next track. When a call comes in, music mutes, "CALL" flashes on the display, and you use the Answer and End buttons to take or decline the call. After the call ends, the unit goes back to what it was doing. When you power it on, the unit automatically reconnects to the last paired device if that device is in range.

The aux-in mode shows "AUX" on the display and works with phones, tablets, game devices, laptops and MP3 players. The USB port only charges devices while the unit is plugged into a working outlet. Some devices that use their own proprietary charging method may not charge from it. If the unit freezes, unplug it, remove the backup batteries and wait 2 minutes, then reconnect everything. After this reset, you will need to set the clock, radio and other settings again.

For safety, keep the unit away from water and heat sources, and do not block its ventilation openings. If you will not use it for a month or longer, remove the backup batteries to prevent corrosion. The warranty is offered by SDI Technologies. To use it, you need a Return Authorization Number and the sales receipt. It does not cover damage from misuse, excessive heat or cracked cabinets, or the cost of shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the iHome IBT232 Clock Radio, and we answer them below.


How do I pair my phone with the iHome iBT232?
Turn on Bluetooth on your phone. Press the Bluetooth Button on the unit, then hold it for 2 seconds until "PAIR" flashes on the display. Select "iHome iBT232" in your phone's Bluetooth menu. If you are asked for a passcode, enter 1234.

What happens if no device pairs within the pairing window?
If no device pairs within 3 minutes, the iBT232 goes back to the mode it was in before.

Will the alarm work during a power outage?
Yes. As long as working AA backup batteries are installed, the battery backup circuit keeps your settings and still sounds the buzzer alarm at the set time.

What does LO BATT on the display mean?
It means the backup batteries are weak or missing. Replace them with 2 fresh AA batteries while the unit is plugged into AC power so your settings are kept.

How do I switch between 12-hour and 24-hour time?
While the display is flashing during clock setting, press either the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 button to switch between 12-hour and 24-hour time.

How do I change the snooze duration?
When no alarm is sounding, hold the Snooze/Display Dimmer Button for 2 seconds. Use the arrow buttons to choose a time from 1 to 29 minutes, then press the button again to confirm.

Can I turn the display off completely?
Yes. When no alarm is sounding, press the Snooze/Display Dimmer Button repeatedly to cycle through the brightness levels. One of them turns the display off.

What happens if I set the alarm to Bluetooth but my phone is not connected?
If no Bluetooth device is detected at wake time, the alarm automatically plays tone t1 instead.

How many FM stations can I save?
You can save up to 6 FM presets, numbered P1 to P6.

Does the iBT232 support Siri or Google Now?
Yes. Hold the Play/Pause/Voice Control Button for 2 seconds while the unit is connected to an iOS 10 or later or Android 4.1 or later device that has an active internet connection.

Why is my device not charging from the USB port?
The unit must be plugged into a working outlet for the USB port to charge. Some devices use proprietary charging methods and need their original charger.

How do I reset a frozen iBT232?
Unplug the unit and remove the backup batteries. Wait 2 minutes, then put the batteries back and reconnect the power. You will need to set the clock, radio and other settings again.

How does the Daylight Saving Time switch work?
The switch on the back is set to auto by default and adjusts the time automatically. Move it to +1 or -1 to adjust the time manually.

What warranty does the iBT232 have?
It has a limited 1-year warranty from SDI Technologies that is valid in the USA for the original purchaser. To get service, call 1-800-288-2792 for a Return Authorization Number.
