Frequently Asked Questions - Plunge ION

How do I pair my Plunge with a smartphone?

Put your smartphone in Bluetooth mode. Turn on the Plunge: it automatically enters pairing mode (the LED blinks). On your smartphone, search for 'Plunge' and select it. If a code is requested, enter 0000.

How do I charge the Plunge?

Use the provided micro USB cable. Connect it to the micro USB port of the Plunge and the other end to a USB charger (5V, 1A) or a computer. The LED turns red during charging and green when fully charged. Never charge the device when wet.

Is the Plunge waterproof?

Yes, it is rated IPX7, meaning it can be submerged up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Make sure to close the caps of the auxiliary and micro USB ports after use in water.
