Using the Alarms
This unit has a dual alarm system so you can set two separate alarms to different alarm times, wake-to sources and schedules
(daily, weekdays or weekend).Tip: Download the free iHome Set app for advanced alarm, snooze and sleep functions.
Setting the Alarms
Note: Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 are set the same way; Alarm Button below means the button (Alarm 1 or Alarm 2) for
whichever alarm you are setting.
1. Press and hold the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 Button until the alarm time flashes on the lower part of the display. Press and
release the + or - Button to set the alarm time (press and hold for faster setting). Remember to set the correct AM or
PM time.
2. Press and release the Alarm Button again to confirm the set alarm time, then press and release the + or - Button to
set the alarm schedule (‘wake 7 days’ = the whole week, ‘wake weekday’ = Monday through Friday, ‘wake weekend’ =
Saturday and Sunday only).
3. Press and release the Alarm Button again, then press and release the + or - Button to select an alarm source to wake
to: (Dock 1, Dock 2, Radio, or Buzzer).
For wake to Dock 1 or Dock 2: Select Dock 1 or Dock 2 to wake to a docked iPad, iPhone or iPod in Dock 1 or an
iPhone or iPod in Dock 2. Once Dock 1 or Dock 2 is selected, press and release the + or - Button to select Normal
(plays the last played song) or select Playlist to wake to a custom playlist. NOTE: you must create a playlist named
“iHome” in iTunes and have it on your iPad/iPod/iPhone. The unit will play music randomly from within the “iHome”
playlist. If no playlist is detected the unit will play the last song played instead. If the unit does not detect an iPad/iPhone/iPod
at the set alarm time, the unit will default to buzzer alarm. The alarm cycle lasts for one hour; make sure you have
enough music on your iPad, iPhone or iPod to last that long.
For wake to radio: after selecting Radio as the wake to source, press and release the Alarm Button and then press
and release the + or - Button to select a radio station or press and release the Presets Button as needed to select a
stored preset radio station to wake to (see Listening to Radio on page 5 for details on setting radio stations as presets).
4. Press and release the Alarm Button again, then press and release the + or - Button to set the alarm volume.
5. Press and release the Alarm button again (or no button within 10 seconds). Two beeps will confirm setting is complete
and you will exit the alarm setting mode. The alarm will be armed once set and the corresponding alarm icon will light
up. The lower part of the display will show the earliest set alarm time.
Reviewing, Arming and Disarming Alarm (Turn Alarm Function On and Off)
Alarms are automatically armed when set. Active alarms are indicated by alarm icons on the display.
1. Once an alarm is armed, the lower part of the display will show the alarm time. If more then one alarm is armed, the
earliest alarm time will show.
2. To review the alarm time, press an alarm button once. The related alarm time and wake source will show on the lower
part of the display.
3. During alarm review, press and release the Alarm Button once to toggle it on or off. If the alarm is armed, the related
alarm icon will light up.
Resetting the Alarm to Come on the Next Day
1. When the alarm is sounding, press and release the Power Button, Wakeup Button, Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 Button to
stop the alarm and reset it to come on the next set day. For example, if alarm is set for weekdays and you reset the
alarm on Friday, the alarm will come on again on Monday, not Saturday.
TIP: When the iHome Sleep app is running, press the wakeup button to access wake profiles. When the app is not
running, you can press the wakeup button to shut off the unit and reset the alarm to come on at the set time.
