About the iHome iBN97
With the iBT97 clock radio, you've got options, and lots of them.
Entertainment options
First, the iBT97 comes with a built-in FM radio — so you can enjoy it as is, right out of the box. But the system also has Bluetooth, so you can wirelessly stream music to it from your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or other compatible device.
The system also features NFC (Near Field Communication). Just touch a compatible portable device — such as a smartphone or tablet — to the iBT97 for instant wireless pairing. Then with one touch you can play music, stream audio from videos amd games through the iBT97 — without wires and without logging into a network.
Because the iBT97GC uses a USB charging port, you can place just about any tablet or smartphone on the system's cradle. (tablet not included)
Sound and talk options
No matter what the source, the iBT97 delivers your music with clear, spacious sound. Specially designed speaker chambers ensure the stereo speakers work at optimal efficiency.
No more scrambling for the phone in the middle of the night. The iBT97 functions as a speakerphone with your connected smartphone. Just press a button on the system's control panel to activate the built-in microphone and take the call. The microphone is designed to minimize room echo, keeping your voice clear to your caller.
Charging options
A USB port lets you charge just about any portable device straight from the iBT97. Just connect your device's USB charging cable to the system. You can place your smartphone, tablet or portable music player in either an upright or horizontal position as it's charging.
Alarm options
You can choose to wake up by electronic tone, an FM radio station, or anything from your paired device. So select your favorite music app, Internet radio station, or stored music track and get a good night's sleep. In the morning, music from your favorite source will be there to wake you up and start the day right.
