1. Introduction


Before using your product, read all accompanying safety information. NOVA is a 40W portable Bluetooth speaker with dual passive radiators, RGB LED strip lights, hands-free calling with a built-in mic, TWS (True Wireless Stereo) support, and Type-C fast charging.

2. Important Safety Instructions

  • Keep the speaker away from any source of heat.
  • Take care when charging — excessive, prolonged charging can damage battery lifetime.
  • Charge the speaker to full capacity before using it for the first time.
  • If unused for a long time, charge at least once a month to prevent the lithium battery from degrading due to excessive consumption.
  • Adjust the volume to an appropriate level to avoid disturbing others.

  • End a call: press the Play/Pause button during the call.
  • Call back: double-press the Play/Pause button.

7. AUX Mode

Connect a 3.5mm audio cable to the speaker — it automatically switches to Line-In play mode.

8. TWS (True Wireless Stereo) Mode

  1. Power on two NOVA speakers.
  2. Double-click the Power button on both speakers simultaneously to enter TWS pairing mode.
  3. The master speaker issues a voice prompt once paired successfully.
  4. To disconnect TWS: double-click the Power button on either speaker — a voice prompt confirms disconnection.
  5. TWS pairing automatically reconnects the next time both speakers are powered on.

Important: TWS pairing is only guaranteed to work reliably between two NOVA units from the same production batch. Pairing speakers from different batches may fail or behave inconsistently — check the batch/date code on the underside of each unit if TWS pairing doesn't work between two otherwise-identical speakers.

  • Use the provided Type-C cable to charge the speaker.
  • Indicator Light: a flashing white light on the speaker body indicates charging.
  • Charging Time: approximately 3 hours.
  • Low Battery Warning: the speaker issues a voice prompt and automatically reduces volume when the battery is low — recharge promptly.
