reconnect them. Make sure G-TUBE is powered on and within range then
simply select ”G-TUBE” from the list on your Bluetooth device.

G-TUBE to your audio device and initiate playback.

If a Line-In cable is connected, G-TUBE will default to Line-in mode.
If the PAIR button is pressed while the 3.5mm Line-in cable is still connected to
the Line-in jack, G-TUBE will switch to Bluetooth pairing mode.
To return to Line-in mode, simply reconnect a cable to the Line-in jack.
