- Enable Bluetooth: Activate Bluetooth on your mobile device.
Pairing the GX Device:

- Select Cerbo GX: Once it appears, click or tap on the Cerbo GX.
- Enter Bluetooth PIN Code: For first-time connections, you’ll be prompted for a PIN.
- Devices with serial numbers less than HQ2242 use the default PIN 000000.
- Devices with serial numbers equal to or greater than HQ2242 have a unique 6-digit PIN, found on the label on the back of the device.
- Change Default PIN: You will be asked to change this default PIN to a more secure, unique code. Remember to store this new PIN safely.
Accessing the Device:
- Successful Pairing: After pairing, the product name, serial number, VRM ID, and the option to change the PIN code will be displayed.
- Open Remote Console via WiFi: The product page will show the GX device’s IP address, allowing direct access to the Remote Console via WiFi.
- Network Settings: You can find details of the network connection under ‘Network settings’, including options for manual IP configuration.
Notes and Limitations:
- Bluetooth Functionality: Bluetooth on the GX device is limited to assisting with initial connection and networking configuration. It cannot be used to connect to other Victron products.
- USB Bluetooth Adapters: In cases where the internal Bluetooth connection is disabled due to high CPU temperature, it’s recommended to use a USB Bluetooth adapter. Compatible adapters include Insignia NS-PCY5BMA2, Logilink BT0037, TP-Link UB400(UN), and others.
