Getting Started: Charging

The Smart Pods Pro can be recharged inside their storage case. Place the pods in the charging case, and they will begin to recharge. The earbuds and case will not charge simultaneously.

To recharge the carrying case, plug the included Micro USB Cable into the Micro USB Port on the back of the unit. The LED indicator light will flash Red while charging and turn solid Red when fully charged.

Getting Started: Bluetooth® Pairing

We recommend fully charging the Smart Pods Pro before first use. Place them in their charging case until the red blinking light on the case goes out.

First-Time Use: Syncing Earbuds

1. Remove the Smart Pods Pro from their charging case. They will automatically power on. To manually power them on, press and hold the Multifunction button.
2. The LED lights on the Smart Pods Pro will blink Red/Blue, indicating Auto SYNC mode.
3. Wait approximately 5-10 seconds for the earbuds to auto-sync. When one of the Smart Pods Pro stops blinking Red/Blue, it indicates that both the Right & Left Smart Pods Pro are synced to each other.

Pairing Earbuds to Your Cell Phone

1. Navigate to the Bluetooth® settings on your cell phone.
2. Turn Bluetooth® On and select "POM Gear Smart Pods Pro" from the list of available devices. When paired, the LED lights on the Smart Pods Pro will slowly blink Blue.

Auto-Pair Use

Once paired, the Smart Pods Pro should auto-sync to each other and auto-pair to your device whenever removed from their charging case or powered on. If this does not work, ensure Bluetooth® on your device is ON and discoverable. Power the Smart Pods Pro off and then back on again. For further assistance, contact customer support.

If the Smart Pods Pro do not respond, ensure your device is correctly connected via Bluetooth®. If issues persist, check Google Assistant app settings: Navigate to Settings > Voice > "Ok Google Detection" and follow on-screen prompts to reactivate.

Using Siri®

With your iOS device connected to the Smart Pods Pro, double-press the multifunction button to open Siri® on your device. For example, ask "What day is today?".
