Here’s how to connect this device to a device that’s equipped with a USB Type-C® port (mainly Android smartphones, iPads and the like).

Required items
  • USB AC adaptor (commercially available)
  • Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport adaptor or similar (commercially available)
  • USB Type-C® to Type-C® cable or a USB Type-C® to USB A cable (commercially available)

  • If you use a USB AC adaptor or an Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport adapter (both commercially available), you can livestream while supplying power to your device that features a USB Type-C® port.

  • Have ready a cable that matches the shape of the port on your USB AC adaptor or other adaptor.

  • Do not use a USB cable that is designed only for charging a device. Charge-only cables cannot transmit data.

  • Use an AC adaptor that can supply enough current to the USB Type-C® port-equipped device you’re using.
    Note that the battery may not recharge, or it may discharge even when you are supplying power to (or charging) a USB Type-C® port-equipped device, depending on the USB AC adaptor’s capabilities or how you are using the GO:PODCAST app.

Turning the power on

  1. Connect your device equipped with a USB Type-C® port or a USB AC adaptor (both commercially available) to the GO:PODCAST via an Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport adapter, as shown in the illustration.

  2. Launch the GO:PODCAST app.

    Once the GO:PODCAST is correctly connected to your device equipped with a USB Type-C® port, the “STATE” indicator on the GO:PODCAST lights up blue.

Turning the power off

Before turning the unit off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

  1. Unplug the USB cable from the USB port on the GO:PODCAST.

Use the included USB Type-C® to USB Type-C® cable to directly connect and use a device that has a USB Type-C® port to the GO:PODCAST.

Note that this uses a significant amount of battery power on your USB Type-C® port-equipped device, so you may not be able to use this device for as long as usual.

To use this device for a long period of time, we recommend connecting a USB AC adaptor.
