True Wireless Stereo (TWS) Pairing (Two Speaker Mode)

To use both speaker units as a stereo pair:

1. Separate the two speaker units.
2. Power on both speakers. Ensure neither speaker is currently connected to any Bluetooth device. If they are, disconnect them.
3. On one of the speakers (this will be the primary speaker), quickly press the Power Button twice. The speakers will attempt to pair with each other.
4. Once successfully paired, you will hear an audible confirmation, and the LED indicators on both speakers will flash blue slowly.
5. Now, on your Bluetooth-enabled device, search for available devices and select "iHome Speaker". Only one "iHome Speaker" should appear.
6. Once your device is connected to the primary speaker, both speakers will play audio in stereo.

Note: If you connect both speakers separately to your phone, the TWS stereo pairing will not function correctly. Only connect to the primary speaker after TWS pairing is established.
