Say “Hello Xiao An” to the device. The device replies “Hello there”.
Say “Start network setup”. The device replies “Network setup started. Please use the mini program to configure Wi-Fi.”
Turn on Bluetooth on your phone, scan the QR code with WeChat, and open the “Ai-Thinker IOT” WeChat mini program.
Select “AI Hardware Agent” and tap “Add Device”.
Tap “Scan Device”, find the device BL602_BD_Vx.x_XXX, and connect to it.

Enter the Wi-Fi password in the “Password” field, and then tap “Configure Wi-Fi”.
The device replies “Connecting”, and then replies “Connected to the network successfully”. Network setup is complete.

💡 Note: Network setup takes up to about 2 minutes. If the device does not respond for a long time or reports a setup failure, start again from step 1.
2.2 Reconfiguring the Network
If you change the router, or the Wi-Fi name or password changes, follow the steps in section 2.1 to set up the network again.
3. Wake-Up and Conversation
3.1 Voice Wake-Up
Say "Hello Xiao An" to the device. The device replies "Hello there", which means it has been woken up successfully.
3.2 Starting a Conversation
After the device is woken up, say what you want to ask, and the device will answer. One wake-up is enough for a continuous conversation, so you do not need to repeat the wake word for every turn.
4. Interrupting and Ending a Conversation
4.1 Interrupting the Device
While the device is speaking, say "Hello Xiao An" to interrupt it, and then continue with what you want to say.
4.2 Ending a Conversation Manually
Say "I don't want to chat anymore", "Goodbye", or "That's all for now", and the device will end the current conversation.
4.3 Ending a Conversation Automatically
If you do not say anything for a while, the device will end the current conversation automatically and reply "Let's talk later. I am always waiting for you."
5. Volume Control
The volume range of the device is 0–100, and the factory default volume is 70. Say the following commands to the device to adjust the volume:
| Voice Command | Effect |
|---|---|
| Turn up the volume | Increases the volume |
| Turn down the volume | Decreases the volume |
| Set the volume to 50 | Sets the volume to 50 |
The volume setting is saved automatically and is retained after the device is powered off.
💡 Note: The device has no volume buttons. The volume is adjusted by voice.
