Earbuds can only be paired and connected
with one device at a time. See “Switch Devices”

then use phone menus to “add,” “search” or
“scan” for new Bluetooth devices.

iPhone: Settings > General > Bluetooth > On

BlackBerry® smartphone: Settings/options >
Bluetooth: On > Search for devices
Android™ smartphone: Wireless & Networks >

3. CONNECT
Select “PLT_BBTGO” from the list of Bluetooth

(0000). You may see **** on screen.
Some devices also ask to confirm connection

once successfully paired/connected.
You can now make a call using your device’s
keypad or voice-dialing feature and enjoy
audio listening from your device.

TRY IT ON
The right fit = the best audio:
For the best sound performance and
a secure, comfortable fit, be sure to
adjust the earbuds to rest gently in
your ear and drape around the back of
your neck. Use the provided fit kit to
find the eartip that works best for you.
For additional support, place the
optional stabilizer behind the eartip.
The loop of the stabilizer will fit snugly
into the back area of your ear.

BackBeat GO does not support multipoint
connectivity, so it can only recognize and
remember one paired device at a time.
For example, each time you switch from
using your smartphone to your tablet,
you will need to establish a new pairing
with your BackBeat GO earbuds.
For some phones and tablets, if
reconnection by selecting “PLT_BBTGO”
from the list of known devices does
not work at first try, you need to delete
“PLT_BBTGO” from the list and try a new
pairing.

TIPS
Stay near your device:
Bluetooth has a working “range” of up to 33
feet between your phone and earbuds before
audio degrades and the connection is lost.
For best audio reception, keep your phone on
the right side of your body.
Learn how to reconnect:
Your earbuds try to reconnect a lost
connection. If they can’t, then tap the Call
button once or manually reconnect via your
phone’s Bluetooth menu.
Decipher the beeps:
If you have a call on hold, you will hear a beep
every 5 seconds. If you are on mute, you will
hear a beep every 30 seconds.
In addition, if you long-press certain buttons
(more than 2-second press), a feedback beep
will be heard (example, accessing the Voice
Control feature on your phone).
Juggle two calls:
You can take a second call and place the first
call on hold by tapping the Call button to
accept the new call.
Switch between calls by pressing the Call
button for a few seconds and you will hear a
beep, indicating the switch is happening.
You can end a call and return to the other
call on hold by tapping the Call button. Some
phones require tapping the Call button twice.
Use your voice:
Some smartphones allow you to use voice
commands to activate their features, such as
voice-dialing or playing music.
To activate your smartphone’s voice controls,
press the Call/Audio button until you hear
your phone prompt you for a command.
Never miss a call:
You will hear an incoming call alert while
listening to stored or streaming audio.
When you take the call, your stored audio
(downloaded tunes, video or podcasts) will
pause.
If you are listening to live streaming audio
(Internet radio) then it will mute, not pause,
during your call. Once you end your call, your
playback or streaming will resume.
Check the battery level:
If you are on a call or listening to audio you
will hear a tone when the battery is low.
You can check the battery level by tapping
the Power button. The LED flashes to show
the charge level.
Blue flash = battery OK to full
Red flash = less than 15 minutes call time
remaining
Keep it clean
Use a dry cotton swab to wipe clean the
