2. On one P16 unit (this will be your primary unit), double-press the power button. The indicator lights will flash rapidly, indicating TWS pairing mode.
3. Within 10 seconds, double-press the power button on the second P16 unit.
4. The two units will automatically pair with each other. Once paired, the primary unit's stereo indicator will light up, and the secondary unit's mono indicator will light up.
5. Now, connect your audio source device to the primary P16 unit via Bluetooth as described in Section 4.2. Audio will be streamed in stereo across both P16 units.
