FAQs

Q: Why can I not pair my Bluetooth device?
A: Occasionally the Bluetooth may need to be reset on your G-BOOM3, and/or your Bluetooth streaming device(s).VFirst, you will need to go into the Bluetooth settings menu on your audio streaming device and delete / ‘forget this device’ from the list completely.

Next, you will need to clear the Bluetooth memory on your G-BOOM3 which can be done by pressing and holding the Bluetooth PAIR button for 3 seconds or until the blue LED starts blinking, indicating that G-BOOM3 is searching for a compatible Bluetooth device. Now with your Bluetooth streaming device and G-BOOM3, both powered on, try searching for compatible devices under the Bluetooth settings menu of your audio streaming device. After a few seconds, it should detect G-BOOM3, at which time you can select “G-BOOM3” and establish a new connection.

Q: Why do I not hear any music?
A: Make sure that a 3.5mm Line-In cable is not plugged into the Line-In jack of the G-BOOM3 as this will automatically switch the unit to LINE-IN even if there is no external audio device connected.

Q: How can play my G-BOOM3 as loud as possible?
A: When using Bluetooth or LINE-IN as the audio source, the volume of playback depends on both the volume that G-BOOM3 is set to as well as the volume on your connected device. To play at the loudest volume, please turn the volume up on both G-BOOM3 and your connected device. Note that with LINE-IN playback, maximizing the volume may cause distortion during playback.
