5.1 Cleaning

To maintain the condition of your headphones:

• Wipe the earcups and headband with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
• Do not immerse the headphones in water, as they are not water-resistant.

5.2 Storage

When not in use, store your headphones in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The foldable design allows for compact storage and portability.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your iHome IB90 headphones, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Power: Ensure the headphones are fully charged. Connect them to a power source using the USB charging cable.
• Cannot Pair via Bluetooth: Make sure the headphones are in pairing mode (flashing indicator light). Turn off and on your device's Bluetooth, then try re-pairing. Ensure the headphones are not already connected to another device.
• No Sound or Low Volume: Check the volume levels on both the headphones and your connected device. Ensure the headphones are properly paired. If using wired mode, ensure the audio cable is securely connected.
• Microphone Not Working: Verify that the headphones are properly connected via Bluetooth. Check your device's audio input settings to ensure the headphone microphone is selected.
• Sound Leakage: The iHome IB90 headphones feature passive noise isolation, not active noise cancellation (ANC). While they provide an immersive sound environment, they may not completely block out all external noise, and some sound may be audible to others at higher volumes.
