POWER SOURCE
The G-GO is designed to operate using a built-in rechargeable battery.
RECHARGE BATTERY
Connect G-GO with a USB charging adapter or any other USB charging device through the supplied Type-C USB charging cable. The battery icon on the display will appear and the battery level bars will move to indicate the charging process. When the battery is fully charged, the battery level bars will change to be full. NOTES: The battery level bar on the display is only to indicate the battery power condition for the built-in rechargeable battery.
WHEN TO RECHARGE BATTERY
Please refer to the battery level bar of the battery level indicator on the display for the battery percentage.
- The battery is internal and cannot be replaced
- Actual battery life varies with use, settings, and environmental conditions
- Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles
- Charge the rechargeable battery at least bi-annually
- The battery life will decrease when listening to the G-GO at louder volumes or with songs that are more bass-intensive.
USB CHARGING PORT
G-GO includes a USB charging port (DC 5V, 1A) for charging most devices, including iPhone, iPod, Android devices, and other compatible USB devices (USB cable sold separately). We recommend charging when the G-GO is plugged into with power so that the battery is not drained. You can charge your devices when G-GO is running from battery power, but it will quickly drain the G-GO battery.
PLAYING THE RADIO
- With G-GO powered “ON”, press the FM RADIO button. The current FM station and FM icon will appear on the display.
- For manual tuning, repeatedly press the TUNE UP or TUNE DOWN button to manually adjust the tuning on the LCD display until the desired station appears.
- For auto tuning, press and hold the TUNE UP or TUNE DOWN button until the display starts to scan, then release the button. The tuner will search and stop on the next strongest station signal it finds. Repeat this process until the desired station appears on the LCD display.
NOTE:
G-GO features a built-in internal FM antenna. For best reception please place the unit close to a window or open area to improve reception quality. Keep digital music players or mobile phones away from G-GO as this may cause interference. Do not place G-GO near the AC power adapter as this may lead to reception interference.
SETTING RADIO PRESETS
- To preset a radio station to memory, first follow the previous steps to tune in to the desired station.
- Press and hold the PLAY / RADIO PRESET button to create a preset for the current station. “P” will appear and “##” (the preset number) will blink on the LCD display.
- Press the TUNE UP or TUNE DOWN button to select a preset number (01- 10). Press the PLAY / RADIO PRESET button again to confirm the setting and the station will be saved into memory.
- Repeat these steps for up to 10 presets, as desired.
- To recall a preset station, repeatedly press the PLAY / RADIO PRESET button until the desired preset number appears in the display and the station tunes in.
NOTES:
Saving a new station preset in the same position as a previously saved station will replace the previously stored station for that preset number.

FAQs
Why can I not pair my Bluetooth device?
Occasionally the Bluetooth may need to be reset on your G-GO, and/or your Bluetooth streaming device(s). First, you will want to go into the Bluetooth settings menu on your audio streaming device and delete / ‘forget this device’ from the list completely. Next, you will want to clear the Bluetooth memory on your G-GO
which can be done by pressing and holding the Pairing button for 3 seconds or until the Bluetooth icon on the LCD display starts flashing, indicating that G-GO is searching for a compatible Bluetooth device. Now with your Bluetooth streaming device and G-GO 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-GO, at which time you can select “G-GO” and establish a new connection.
FM radio station not playing clearly?
For the best reception please place the unit close to a window or open area to improve reception quality. Keep digital music players or mobile phones away from G-GO as this may cause interference. Do not place G-GO near the AC power adapter as this may lead to reception interference.
