Problem

What to check and do

“GX-100” does not show up in the Bluetooth device list on my mobile device

The Bluetooth function might be turned off (disabled).

Bluetooth is enabled when you press the pairing button on the BT-DUAL.

Bluetooth Audio:

A device named “GX-100 Audio” appears.

Connected to an app:

You can check these settings from within an app, such as BOSS TONE STUDIO for GX-100.

Can’t connect to Bluetooth audio

If the “GX-100” is shown in the Bluetooth device list on your mobile device

Temporarily deregister (unpair) the device in the mobile device’s Bluetooth settings. Turn Bluetooth off and then on, and try pairing again.

If “GX-100” is not shown in the Bluetooth device list of your mobile device

Turn the mobile device’s Bluetooth function off and then on again, and initiate pairing from the GX-100 to re-establish pairing.

Can’t connect to the app

After unpairing the “GX-100 MIDI” that is registered on the mobile device, turn the mobile device’s Bluetooth function off and then on again, and reconnect it from within the app (BOSS TONE STUDIO for GX-100)’s settings.

In your mobile device’s Bluetooth setting screen, you tap “GX-100 MIDI” but can’t connect to the app

Make the connection from the settings of the app (BOSS TONE STUDIO for GX-100), not from your mobile device’s Bluetooth settings.

You pressed the BT-DUAL’s pairing button, but can’t connect to the app

You cannot connect simply by press the pairing button on the BT-DUAL.

In the Bluetooth settings of your mobile device, turn the Bluetooth function on, and then connect from the settings of the app (BOSS TONE STUDIO for GX-100).
