Step 1. Enter the headphones into pairing mode (make them discoverable)

1. Place the headphones into the charging case.
2. Remove the left unit from the charging case.
3. Press and hold the button on the left unit for at least 7 seconds. The indicator flashes blue and red alternately. If you put on the headphones, you will hear a notification sound and the voice guidance saying Bluetooth pairing from the left unit.
   

   Note: If the pairing is not finished within 5 minutes, the pairing mode on the headphones is canceled. If this happens, place the headphones into the charging case again and start the operation from the beginning.
