True Wireless Stereo (TWS) Pairing
The AWEI KA30 supports TWS functionality, allowing you to pair two KA30 speakers together for a true stereo sound experience.
- Ensure both KA30 speakers are powered on and not connected to any other Bluetooth device.
- On one of the speakers (this will be the primary speaker), press and hold the TWS pairing button (refer to the product diagram if available, or try the Mode button if no dedicated TWS button is present) until you hear a pairing prompt.
- The two speakers will automatically search for and connect to each other. Once connected, you will hear a confirmation sound, and one speaker will act as the left channel and the other as the right channel.
- Now, connect your device (phone, laptop) to the primary speaker via Bluetooth as described in the "Bluetooth Pairing" section.
- Audio will now play in stereo through both speakers.
Note: The TWS pairing process may vary slightly. If a dedicated TWS button is not visible, try pressing and holding the Mode button or Play/Pause button on both speakers simultaneously after powering them on.

- Avoid exposing the speaker to dust, dirt, or sand, which can damage internal components.
