This post shows how to connect JBL Xtreme 2 to iPhone, a none too complicated process once you know how to get to the various iPhone screens.
Begin this routine with your speaker shut off (Power button dark).
We’re using an iPad Air tablet in this demo. However, pairing is nearly the same for all the other iOS devices, although the screen arrangements may be somewhat different on an iPhone.
Bring up the Home screen. See our Home screen as pictured next.
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen.
Tap the Settings app icon.
The iPhone then draws the first page of its Settings screen.
Tap the Bluetooth item.
Our Bluetooth Settings screen then comes up as we show in the next picture. Note that our Bluetooth is switched ON. But since our JBL Xtreme 2 is currently OFF, it does not appear in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists just yet. How come? Because we’ve never paired it with this mobile device before. And besides, the speaker is not yet broadcasting its connection information, as it is OFF. See this, as we show next.
Turn on this speaker by gently but rapidly depressing its Power button. See the Power button pointed at by the green arrow in the next picture.
The speaker then comes to life.
But since the iPhone you’re connecting probably does not know about this speaker, the JBL Xtreme 2 will not pair with it by itself. The light that brightens in the Power switch advertises this not-paired situation by glowing white.
Now, to see your JBL Xtreme 2 on your iPhone, place it into Bluetooth Discovery mode. To do that, depress and release the Bluetooth button on the speaker, as we show in the next picture. It’s the raised switch on the left top portion of the Xtreme 2 JBL, in the shape of the Bluetooth logo.
When you depress this button, the speaker plays a single repeating guitar pluck sound a few times. Plus, the Power button goes from a solid white glow to flashing blue. See this in the next photo.
To make simpler the following screenshots, we’ve removed from our mobile device some of the Bluetooth devices not needed to make the points in this exercise.
See the screenshot next. We found ours, as pointed at by the green arrow, as seen next.
Tap the listed speaker in the Other Devices section of the Bluetooth devices list, shown above.
Your iPhone then pairs with the Xtreme 2 (appears as “JBL Xtreme 2” in this demo).
The Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to display something like the following.
Note that the Xtreme 2 JBL speaker now shows as connected, as seen inside the green oval in the previous screenshot.
We have now successfully paired the speaker with our mobile iOS device. Hopefully, your experience connecting it to your iPhone went as smoothly.
