Turn on both products and make sure they are both not connected to another device via Bluetooth®.

Press the button on one of the products which will then by default set it as the "primary" unit. A beep will sound. When pairing between both products has been carried out successfully, the LED 1 of the connected "secondary" unit stops flashing and a sequence of beeps will sound.
