If the connection is successful, the LED status indicator will stop flashing and turn to a solid blue. Any media you play from your device now will have its audio emit from the speaker via Bluetooth.

The speaker is compatible with microSD cards up to 64GB in storage.

Charging

Charging is required if the power LED indicator lights up red. The speaker can be charged by connecting the USB Type-C end of the charging cable into the USB Type-C charging port, with the other end plugged into a powered device with a USB port.

Once the power LED indicator turns off, the speaker is fully charged.

• The charging voltage and current is 5V/2.4A. Ensure any adapter used with this charger is correctly rated to match.
• The battery performance may decrease after extended use. This is normal for all devices powered by rechargeable batteries.

True Wireless Stereo (TWS) using two speakers

You can connect to two XP8 speakers simultaneously for a stronger stereo and surround sound effect.

1. Ensure Bluetooth is turned off on your connecting device.
2. Place the speakers side by side and power them both on.
3. Press and hold the mode switching button down on either one of the speakers for 2 seconds. A sound prompt will play to confirm both speakers are preparing to enter TWS pairing mode.
4. Wait for the LED status indicator on the left channel speaker flashes, and the LED status indicator on the right channel speaker turns a solid blue. Once this happens, the TWS connection is successful.
5. Switch on the Bluetooth on your device. Ensure your device is set to be visible to all nearby Bluetooth devices.
6. Search for “KAXP8SPKBKA” on your device and tap to connect. If you are unable to find the speaker, try refreshing the list of available devices on your device. The LED status indicators on both speakers will turn a solid blue if the connection is successful.
7. To disconnect, press and hold the mode switching button down for 2 seconds.

If previously connected, the two speakers can automatically re connect to each other with TWS for future use. If you do not wish for both speakers to automatically re-connect, press and hold the mode switching button down for 5 seconds. This will reset and restart the speaker.

Notes:

• The speakers must enter TWS pairing mode prior to connecting to any Bluetooth device. The TWS function will not work otherwise.
• When using the TWS connection between speakers, only the left channel speaker will have the function of the calling controls.
