Bluetooth Pairing simple enough and achieved in the usual way by depressing the Multifunction/Power button for several seconds until the red/blue LED flashes then look for EDIFIER W806BT on the pairing screen of your phone. Once paired I found the connection to be stable and strong. It will pair with two exte..
