prompt will identify each speaker as left channel or right channel. After successful
Wireless Stereo linking, the speakers will enter Bluetooth pairing mode (see below).
After first time power on, user must pair manually (see page 6).
NOTE: Once speakers are linked, powering OFF one speaker will also turn
the other speaker off. To turn that speaker back on, move the Power Off/On
Switch to OFF then back to ON.
