Connecting Ultimate Ears Wonderboom

This post gives the Connecting Ultimate Ears Wonderboom routine for common wireless devices. Start with your Ultimate Ears Wonderboom shut OFF (all dark LEDs). Then, follow along to pair it with most any source device.  In this demo, we show how pairing works on our iPad Air mobile computer. But like procedures work for iPhones, iPods, and Android phones and tablets as well.

Connecting Ultimate Ears Wonderboom: Step by Step

1. Visit the Home Screen on your Source Device

Press the Home button to get to the  Home   page.  See our  Home  screen as shown next.

2. Find the   Settings  App

Practically all mobile devices have a Settings app.

We found ours on the second page of the  Home  screen on our tablet.

4. Go to the  Bluetooth Settings  Page to Continue with Connecting Ultimate Ears Wonderboom

Tap the  Bluetooth  item, as pointed at by the dark green arrow in the last screenshot above.

Our  Bluetooth Settings screen then appears as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is switched ON here. But since the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom is currently OFF, it does not show in either the  My Devices  or  Other Devices lists on the tablet yet,  Why?  Because we’ve not yet paired it with this iPad before.  Plus, the speaker is not yet transmitting its BT connection info. See this scenario, that appears as shown next.
