Bluetooth Dongle – Pairing and Connecting
-
Open Go Power! ConnectTM
-
On your Phone or Tablet: pull down the screen to initiate a scan for available devices.
-
The first time you attempt to connect the phone will ask to ‘pair’ with the device. Enter the pin code. The default pin code is 000000.
-
Connection is complete.
If connection was not successful please refer to section 9. Troubleshooting
below.
Note: Always connect from within the Go Power! ConnectTM app. Do not
connect from the device’s system menu because the app will not find your Go
Power! product.
Changing the Bluetooth PIN code
To prevent unauthorised connections to your device we recommended you change
the PIN code. Avoid using obvious PIN codes such as 111111 or 123456.
To change the PIN code: First complete your connection; then go to the Product
Info page. To access that page, click the button on the upper right. For some
products it will be the settings icon: .
After opening that menu press , and click Product Info.
For other products you’ll find the button on the upper right, which takes you straight to the Product Info page.
Compatibility notes on phones and tablets
Android Devices
The minimum required Android version to run the Go Power ConnectTM app is 4.1.
The minimum required Android version to connect to the Go Power! ConnectTM via
Bluetooth is 4.3.
Access to location services required?
Android 6 and later requires access permission for the Connectivity app to
access location services. Otherwise it can not scan for the Bluetooth devices.
Besides permitting access to its data, the location services also needs to be
enabled in many (but not all) cases.
Note that after enabling location services, the GPS itself can be switched off
again: the Android location services are more than GPS. Bluetooth and WiFi-
scan results can technically also be used to approximate the devices location;
hence these requirements.
Despite the text above, you can be sure that the Connectivity app is not
interested in, nor tracking your location.
Apple iOS iPhones and iPads
The Connectivity app works on the following iPhones and iPads, which have
Bluetooth 4.0 (BT LE) and iOS 8 or later, which is required:
• Phone 4S and later (due to Bluetooth Low Energy support)
• iPad 3rd generation and later
Unfortunately Apple iPhone/iPad doesn’t support USB OTG.
