Go Power! Connect App
The Go Power! Bluetooth Dongle works together with our exclusive Go Power! Connect app. The free app
is available for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
LED Status Codes
The dongle has two LEDs, a Bluetooth status LED (blue), and an error LED (red).
On power-up, both LEDs will be on or alternating quickly (fast blinking).
When both LEDs are on, the dongle contains valid firmware and will act as a Go Power! Connect gateway. When
both LEDs stay on, something is wrong with the Bluetooth connection.
When the LEDs are alternating quickly, the dongle is in firmware update mode and it will show up as
dongle in Go Power! Battery Tracker. After connecting, a firmware update can be performed. When the dongle
already contains valid firmware, it will fall back to normal operation after 30 seconds.

Troubleshooting
“I cannot connect via Bluetooth”
“My Go Power! Connect app won’t connect. What should I do?”
Update Dongle Firmware
After connecting with a new Go Power! Battery Tracker version for the first time, it might be that the firmware of
the dongle needs to be updated, follow the instructions displayed on Go Power! Battery Tracker to complete the
process.
• Make sure you are close enough to the dongle. In open space, a distance of up to approximately 20 meters
should work.
• Connection issues might be caused by an incorrect Bluetooth pairing. Try re-pairing by first removing the
pairing from the phone: go to your phone's Settings, then click Bluetooth. Click the (i)-icon next to any Go
Power! Battery Tracker device and choose Forget This Device. Then, open the Battery Tracker app again and
pull down the discovery screen to rediscover products. Set the dongle in pairing mode by clicking the button
on the dongle, then click the Go Power! product in the app's discovery screen. Confirm the pairing and you
should now be connected to the dongle.
• Ensure that the product it is connected to is working properly.
• Try to disconnect the dongle and reconnect to the BMK.

2.2 Changing the Bluetooth PIN code
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.
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.
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.
Access to location services required?
