An iOS Bluetooth Settings page. Showing the Wonderboom 1 as paired.
This post shows how to connect a Wonderboom with common Bluetooth devices. So first, start with this speaker OFF (all dark LEDs). Then, follow along to pair it with most any source device. So 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.
Firstly, press the Home button to get to the Home iPad page.
We find ours on the second page of the Home screen on our tablet.
Then, tap the Settings app icon.
Then the source device displays the first page of its Settings screen.
Next, tap the Bluetooth item.
Then our Bluetooth Settings screen appears. Note that the Wonderboom is currently OFF. So it does not show in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists yet, Why? Because we’ve not yet paired it with this iPad before. Furthermore, the speaker is not yet transmitting its BT connection info.
Then, turn on the WB by quickly pressing its Power button.
The unit then comes on.
So to see your Wonderboom on your iPad Air, place it into pairing mode. For that, press and release the Bluetooth button.
When you press this Pairing button, the speaker makes a distinctive sound several times. Plus, a lamp in this button starts rapidly flashing white.
See the picture next. We find ours.
Then tap the speaker in the Other Devices section of the Bluetooth Devices list.
Your iPad Air then pairs with the Wonderboom (appears as “WONDERBOOM” in this demo).
The Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to display something like the following.
Note that the Wonderboom now appears as connected, as circled inside the green oval in the last picture.
Finally, we have now successfully paired our Wonderboom with our iPad Air iOS device. So audio from that device now plays on this speaker.
