Set the Device in Pairing Mode

When the device is first turned on, it may automatically enter pairing mode (the 'Pairing' indicator flashes rapidly).

Having Trouble Connecting?

The prior steps detail the process for 'EZ Mode' connection. If that does not work for your connection, we suggest trying it again, and if still no success, attempting the following method for AP Mode connection.
