BOSCH GCY 30-4 Professional Bluetooth Connectivity Module Chip

Safety Notes

All instructions must be read and observed in order to enable work with the GCY 30-4 to be carried out safely. Store these instruc-tions in a safe place and provide them when transferring the GCY 30-4 or any power tool equipped with it to a third party.

  • Only use batteries listed in this operating manual. Do not use any other button cells or other forms of electrical power supply.
  • Ensure that battery replacement is carried out properly. There is a risk of explosion.
  • Please note that the Bluetooth® module is powered by a button cell.
  • Never swallow button cells. Swallowing button cells can result in severe internal burns within two hours and can cause death.

Ensure that the button cells are kept out of the reach of children. If you suspect that someone has swallowed a button cell or that a button cell has entered someone’s body in an-other way, seek medical attention immediately.

  • Stop using the Bluetooth® module if you cannot close the cover. Remove the button cell and have it repaired.
  • Do not attempt to recharge the button cells and do not short circuit the button cell. The button cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
  • Remove and dispose of drained batteries correctly. Drained batteries may leak and damage the Bluetooth® module or cause personal injury.
  • Protect any object identified with a GCY 30-4 against heat and fire. Prolonged exposure to sunlight and high temperatures (> 70 °C) may cause the battery to leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
  • Do not damage the button cell and or take the button cell apart. The button cell may leak, explode, catch fire and cause personal injury.
  • Do not allow damaged button cells to come into contact with water. Leaking lithium may mix with water to create hydrogen, which could cause a fire, an explosion, or personal injury.
  • The Bluetooth® Low Energy Module GCY 30-4 is equipped with a radio interface. Local operating restrictions, e.g. in aircraft or hospitals, must be observed.
  • Use the Bluetooth® Low Energy Module GCY 30-4 only in power tools intended for it. Read the operating instruc-tions of the power tool you are using.

Bluetooth® Low Energy Module

Battery service life, approx.

  • A) The mobile terminal devices must be compatible with Bluetooth® Low Energy devices (version 4.1) and support the Generic Access Pro-file (GAP).
  • B) The signal range may vary greatly depending on external conditions, including the receiving device used. The Bluetooth® range may be sig-nificantly weaker inside closed rooms and through metallic barriers (e.g. walls, shelving units, cases, etc.).

System Requirements

  • Mobile terminal device (tablet, smartphone):
    • Android 4.3 (and above)
    • iOS 9 (and above)

Mounting and Operation

Power supply

  • Remove the cover for the Bluetooth® Low Energy Mo-dule GCY 30-4 on the power tool, e.g. using a screw-driver or a large coin. Using unsuitable objects can dam-age the electronics or the cover.
  • To start using the product after purchasing it or to change the battery 1, follow the illustrations on the graphics pages. Observe the following advice when doing so.

Initial Operation

Note: Store the placeholder 3 of the GCY 30-4 in a safe place. Re-insert the placeholder when transferring the power tool without GCY 30-4 to a third party.
Insert the battery 1 with the plus terminal facing upwards in-to the GCY 30-4 2. It is not necessary to push in the battery.
To initialise the GCY 30-4 after inserting the battery, press the On/Off switch of the power tool.

Battery Replacement

Only remove used batteries 1 using your fingers.
A warning will be displayed in the app before the battery is fully used up.

Removing the GCY 30-4

Do not use force to remove the GCY 30-4 2. Do not use any sharp or pointed tools.
Note: You may need to turn the power tool over to make it eas-ier to remove the GCY 30-4.

Initial Operation

Once the battery 1 has been inserted and the On/Off switch on the power tool is pressed, the GCY 30-4 will send out a contin-uous signal. The Bluetooth® signal will only be interrupted if the battery is drained or faulty or if it is removed.
You can find further information directly in the app from Bosch.

Installing and Setting Up the App
In order to be able to use the GCY 30-4, you first have to install the app Bosch Toolbox.

    Note: You will require a user account on the corresponding app store to do this.
  • Then select the subitem MyTools in the app.
  • The display of your mobile terminal device will show you all subsequent steps required to connect the power tool to the terminal device.

Bosch offers a special application (app) for managing the in-serted GCY 30-4 modules and determining their location.

  • Open the website www.boschtrackmytools.com and register.

    Note: First, fully complete the tutorial for the app. This will give you a better overview of how the connection is made and how the connectivity functions are used.

Data Transmission via Bluetooth®
The transmission interval of the GCY 30-4 is 8 seconds. De-pending on ambient conditions, several transmission intervals may be required before the GCY 30-4 is detected. If the GCY 30-4 is not detected, check the following:

  • Is the distance to the mobile terminal device too great? ▷ Reduce the distance between the mobile terminal device and the GCY 30-4.
  • Is the battery too low or drained? ▷ Change the battery.
