Once they find each other, one will automatically initiate a pairing connection, and its blue light will flash quickly. After a short period, both blue lights will flash slowly, indicating a successful connection for normal conversation. To pair the next sub-device, press the MOTOR button first to disconnect the current pairing.
• Pairing with Sub-Device B: Long press the B button on the main device and the B button on sub-device B for about 5 seconds simultaneously. Both devices' red and blue lights will flash. Once they find each other, one will automatically initiate a pairing connection, and its blue light will flash quickly.

To pair the next sub-device, press the B button first to disconnect the current pairing.
• Pairing with Sub-Devices C, D, and E: The pairing method for sub-devices C, D, and E is the same as above, using their respective C, D, and E buttons.
