JBL BASSPRO GO

Software Update to V2

(new feature, supports Home Power Adapter)

 

 

This update allows you to update your original BASSPRO GO to version 2 which will now be compatible with the Home Power Adapter.

 

This update is fairly intricate. We recommend that it be done by a professional. All JBL authorized car audio dealers can perform this update. However, if you’d like to perform the update yourself, please download the instructions here and read through them. If you feel comfortable performing the update yourself, download the zip file here, and be sure to follow the instructions 100% to the letter.

IMPORTANT: To ensure that the JBL CHARGE 3 is waterproof, please remove all cable connections and tightly close the cap; exposing the JBL CHARGE 3 to liquids without doing so may result in permanent damage to the speaker. And do not expose the JBL CHARGE 3 to water while charging, as doing so may result in permanent damage to the speaker or power source.

IPx7 waterproof is defined as the speaker can be immersed in water up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.

Please check with your car manufacturer to ensure your car supports CAN or K-line. JBL DRG only works with CAN and K-line to get the engine data for engine sound simulation. If your car does support CAN or K-line, please launch the JBL DRG app and check the engine sound volume bar (the right column with button marked with “E”) in the “Sound Mode” section to make sure it is not turned off.

Please use an OBD II extension cable in this case. An extension cable is not included in the package but they are readily available for purchase on-line.

When you place the two Free earphones in the charging case, you will see a white led ring light up on both of them. At the same time, some of the four dot-leds on the charging case will light up to indicate the battery level of the case battery. When the earphones are fully charged, the white led ring goes out on each of them. When both are fully charged, the charging case charging level leds go out too.

The JBL Free automatically switches from stereo to mono when making or taking phone calls. Voice calls will only come through the right ear piece for a more natural call experience.

In the event that left and right ear piece pairing is lost, power on both ear pieces and press the buttons 3 times on each ear piece to initiate re-pair.

In the event that ear pieces do not re-pair automatically to paired Bluetooth device, power off ear pieces individually by press and hold the buttons for 5 seconds. To enter Bluetooth pairing mode when ear pieces are powered off, press and hold on buttons of both earpieces for 8 seconds. Re-pair the right ear piece with desired Bluetooth device when LED indicator on right ear piece alternates between blue and white LED lights.

Remove ear pieces from the case. Both ear pieces should automatically connect to each other. Wireless connections are automatically established when the headphones are taken out of the case. To pair to a different device, press and hold the Right ear piece for 5 seconds as it alternates between blue and white LED lights. Make sure that the device you are attempting to connect to is in pairing mode. The JBL Free should display on discoverable devices within 3-8 seconds. Choose JBL Free and the headphones will connect after you hear the audio confirmation tone.

Remove the Right ear piece from the case. (It should automatically enter into pairing mode and will alternate between blue and white LED) Make sure the unit you are trying to connect to is in pairing mode. It should recognize the JBL Free within 3-8 seconds. Choose "JBL Free" to connect.

The JBL Free has an IPX5 rating that helps protect the headphones from sweat and moisture.

The JBL Free X does not feature volume control. In order to adjust the volume, you must manually increase/decrease from your device.

PSAP (Personal Sound Amplification) is a new feature accessible within the JBL Headphones App. When this feature is turned on, it works similar to Ambient Aware, but it focuses on picking up vocal frequencies in front of you. 

 

1. GAIN: The Personal Sound Amplification function is designed to amplify sound in the vocal range, it can assist users with (limited) hearing loss to maintain conversations more easily, especially in noisy environments. It should then amplify the speech of the person sitting across from you, not the general ambient sound as with Ambient Aware. The algorithm uses beamforming to pick out the voice from the other sounds, much like what happens during a phone call, but instead of focusing on your own voice it focuses on the voice further away from you. The gain setting allows you to amplify those vocal frequencies.

 

2. BALANCE: The balance setting adjusts the amplification effect between your left and right ears using the slider. When set to 0 (in the middle), both ears will receive the same amplification, but depending on the user’s personal needs/preferences, they can focus the amplification more towards either the left or right ear.
