The flashing lights on a Brain Block are 
the identifying code. Each color 
corresponds to a letter at the end of a 
MOSS block name. For example a red 
light corresponds with the letter “R.” 
Use the three color codes to tell 
MOSS brains apart.

When using your Double Brain Block you’ll need to pair it with an 
Android or iOS mobile device. Before you begin, make sure your 
device has Bluetooth capability and it is turned ON.

Connect your Double Brain Block to the Extended Battery and 
turn the battery on. If you do not see a series of flashing colors on 
your Double Brain Block or need help with this step, please refer 
to Section “1. Getting Started.”

Once you power on your construction, you’ll need to use your 
mobile device to complete the pairing. Open your Bluetooth 
settings and look for the MOSS Brain Block you wish to pair with. 
For additional help please refer to your specific device’s support 
guide.

When you pair with a MOSS Brain Block, its LED indicator light 
will turn solid blue indicating a successful connection. You are now 
ready to use one of our free mobile apps to play!
