• Pivo Cast: (previously known as Pivo Meet) is a 1-on-1 video chat application made by Pivo and designed to be used with your Pivo Pod.

These are all available via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

• Pivo Pod battery should take 60 minutes to full charge.
• The LED light on the power button will turn red to indicate that the Pivo Pod is charging. Once the battery is fully charged, the LED light on the power button will turn off.
• A fully charged Pivo Pod can provide up to 10 hours of usage but may vary depending on the features and settings being used.
• With the app open, you can check how much battery remains at the top right corner of the screen.

Getting started

1. The Pod ON (or OFF). 
2. The button at the front will flash blue, meaning that it is in "pairing mode" looking for a bluetooth device.
3. Log in and open one of the Pivo Pod Apps and make sure bluetooth is turned on.
4. When the app opens it should automatically search for nearby devices and connect.

1. With your Pivo Pod turned on, enter Remote Control pairing mode by pressing the Pivo Pod's power button 3 times in quick succession.
2. The power button will blink white, indicating your Pivo Pod is now discoverable by the Remote Control. If the LED light isn't blinking white, simply repeat this step.
3. On the Remote Control, press and hold the center button marked + until the device beeps 3 times indicating a successful connection.
