Operating Instructions

1. Experiencing Bone Conduction Sound

The unique feature of the Blade Speaker is its ability to use bone conduction technology to turn various hollow surfaces into speakers. Experiment with different materials and objects to discover unique sound profiles.

  • Wood: Provides rich bass resonance.
  • Glass: Delivers medium to high frequencies.
  • Drum/Hollow Objects: Produces ultra mega bass.
  • Mirror: Offers clean and melodious sound.
  • Cardboard/Kraft Box: Can provide varying sound effects.

Simply attach the speaker to the desired surface using its adhesive backing or suction cup (if included in your set). The sound will then be projected through the entire chosen surface, offering an omni-directional and unlimited sound experience.

For a more immersive audio experience, you can pair two Bocoice Blade Speakers together to create a true wireless stereo sound system.

  1. Ensure both Blade Speakers are charged and powered on.
  2. Do not connect either speaker to your device via Bluetooth yet.
  3. Double-press the power key/function key on one of the speakers. It will enter TWS pairing mode and automatically search for another Blade Speaker.
  4. Once paired, you will hear an audible confirmation. The indicator LEDs on both speakers will change to indicate a successful TWS connection.
  5. Now, connect your device to one of the paired speakers via Bluetooth as described in the "Bluetooth Pairing" section. The sound will now play in stereo through both speakers.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Bocoice Blade Speaker, follow these maintenance guidelines:
