• On your portable device, look for a new Bluetooth speaker named “Gemini GD PRO Series “and connect to it No PIN code will be necessary. Once connected, the GD PRO Series. will emit a high-pitched tone, and the B’T Status LED will light solid blue to indicate there is now a device connected. You are now able to stream music to your GD PRO Series.
• If you would like to disconnect your portable device from the GD PRO Series, simply press the BT PAIR button again. You will hear a low-pitched tone, and the BT Status LED will blink slowly to tell you there are no portable devices connected.
• BT Linking – If you purchased 2 GD Series or GD PRO Series speakers, you can connect them wirelessly using Bluetooth to create a stereo pair. This is done via the BT LINK feature. Please note that BT LINK will work with either GD Series or GD Pro Series!
• To link 2 GD Series or GD PRO Series speakers, first make sure that both speakers are connected to Mains power and turned on.
• On the speaker you intend to use as your “master” speaker, press the button labelled “BT LINK” (5). The BT Status LED (6) will begin blinking from blue to green, and you will begin to hear the speaker emit a low-pitched tone every 5 seconds. This is to tell you the speaker is in search mode.
