3. Select "TF-Y17Pro" from the list of devices.
4. Once paired, the speaker will indicate a successful connection, and the LED will stop flashing.

3. TWS (True Wireless Stereo) Pairing

To achieve a wider stereo soundstage, you can pair two TF-Y17Pro speakers together:

2. On one of the speakers, press the "M" button (Mode button) to initiate TWS pairing. It will search for another TF-Y17Pro speaker.
