About the iHome iDL46

Ralph Graves
It's easy to keep track of your portable devices if there's a place for them. And that's just what the iHome iDL46 provides. This compact clock radio lets you dock your iPhone 6®, iPhone 6 Plus®, iPad 4®, iPad mini® or 5th generation iPod touch to its Lightning connector. And if you have an older Apple portable with a 30-pin connector, you can use your device's charging cable to connect to the iDL46's USB port. Either way, you'll be able to play music from your connected Apple portable as it charges.

The iDL46 lets you choose what you want to listen to, and what you want to wake up to. It can be a favorite radio station, or a music source from one of your connected Apple portables — from music files, to apps, to Internet radio stations.

iHome Apps: The iHome iDL46 speaker dock supports iHome's free iHome Set app and iHome Sleep app for iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad (running iOS 4.3 or later).

  • iHome Set App: Once downloaded to your compatible Apple Device, the iHome Set app provides a convenient interface to set clock, alarms, radio presets, and more. The iHome Set will automatically install updates when they are available.

Aux Input: The iDL46 is equipped with a rear-panel 3.5mm auxiliary input to connect almost any portable audio player with a headphone jack output.

Alarm Clock: The iHome iDL146 is equipped with a built-in in Alarm clock that features dual Wakeup timers, a Sleep timer, and a Nap timer. You can wake up or go to sleep listening to your iPod/iPhone/iPad, custom playlist, or an FM radio station (Buzzer also available for wake-up alarm). The iDL46 gradually increases or decreases the volume to help you gently wake-up or fall to sleep.

  • Dual Wake Timers w/ Snooze: The two independent wakeup timers can be set for a full week (7), work week (5), or weekend (2). A programmable snooze lets you pause the wakeup timer for 1 to 29 minutes. The alarm will continue for 60 minutes or until turned off.
  • Sleep Timer: Sleep mode lets you fall asleep to whatever is currently playing (iPad/iPhone/iPod or the radio), gradually lowering the volume
    until the unit shuts off at the selected time (15, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes). 
  • Nap Timer: The Nap timer lets you set an alarm separate from the Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 settings. The Nap timer wakes you up to your iPod/iPhone/iPad, the built-in FM Radio, or integrated Buzzer after a selected period of time (5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, or 120 minutes).
Note: The clock is automatically set by your connected iPod/iPhone/iPad device. You can set the unit to a 12 or 24 hour display.

Q
Does the digital display dim or can it be turned off? I like these units but would prefer to be able to turn the bright clock display down for sleeping. Can this be done? Thanks.

A
It has a dimmer that has several levels of "brightness", with one level turning the display off.
chris  Jan 13, 2015
A
Yes, the display has 8 different brightness settings (by pressing the snooze button) with the last one being so dim it's not visible with the room light being on.
shawn  Jan 09, 2015
A
Yes! The display has 6 or so brightness settings all the way to off. It works well and the switch for this is right on top in the front so easy to change - even in the dark. This is a fine piece of equipment. I've enjoyed mine now for many months. It works well, has great sound for a bedside or small office radio.
george  Jan 09, 2015

It can be dimmed multiple levels from bright to off best I have ever used as far as a dimmer
don  Jan 09, 2015

Yes it dims many times and can be turned off.

This iHome iDL46 has 7 brightness levels plus you can turn it off.
