  • “R_ATH-CKR70TW”, “BLE_R_ATH-CKR70TW”, or both may be displayed when pairing. If both are displayed, select “R_ATH-CKR70TW”. If only one is displayed, select that one.
  • Make sure you are not connected to any other previously connected Bluetooth device. If so, disconnect the product using the previously connected Bluetooth device, and then select the product on the Bluetooth device being connected to. Use forced pairing mode if you are unable to disconnect from a previously connected Bluetooth device. For details, refer to If the product does not connect to a device (forced pairing mode).
