   • Ensure the knob is powered on.
   • Activate Bluetooth pairing mode on the knob (refer to device indicators for pairing status, usually a blinking light).
   • On your computer or mobile device, search for Bluetooth devices and select "VBESTLIFE Knob" (or similar name) to pair.
3. 2.4G Wireless Connection: This mode requires a separate 2.4G receiver (not included).
   • Plug the 2.4G receiver into an available USB port on your computer.

The knob's built-in memory stores custom key assignments, allowing for complex shortcut combinations across different connectivity modes.
