How to Connect to JBL Wonderboom 1: Step by Step

1. Visit the Home Screen on your Source Bluetooth Device

Firstly, press the Home button to get to the  Home   screen.  See our  Home  page as shown next.

2. Find the  Settings  App

We find ours on the second page of the  Home  screen. Most any mobile device these days has some sort of Settings app.  If yours does not, then follow the directions in its manual for connecting to a Bluetooth speaker.

3. Bring up the Settings App

Tap the Settings app icon.

The mobile device then displays the first page of its  Settings  screen.

4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with How to Connect to JBL Wonderboom 1

Then tap the  Bluetooth  item.

Our  Bluetooth Settings screen then comes up. Note that our Bluetooth is ON here. But the JBL Wonderboom 1 is currently OFF. So it does not show in either the  My Devices  or  Other Devices lists yet.  Why?  Because we’ve not yet connected to it from this device before.  Plus, the JBL Wonderboom 1 is not yet transmitting its connection info.

5. Power On your JBL Wonderboom 1

Turn on the JBL Wonderboom 1 by rapidly pressing and releasing its  Power  button.

The speaker then powers UP.

6. Put your JBL Wonderboom 1 into Pairing Mode

Then, to see your JBL Wonderboom 1 on your mobile device, start up pairing / discovery mode. For that, press and release the Bluetooth button.

When you press this Pairing button, the speaker makes a distinctive sound a few times. Plus, a light in this button starts quickly blinking white. See this in the last picture above.

7. Find your JBL Wonderboom 1 on your Mobile Device

We found ours here.

8. Next, Connect to your JBL Wonderboom 1

Tap the listed speaker in the  Other Devices  section of the  Bluetooth Devices  list, shown above.

Then your mobile device then connects to the JBL Wonderboom 1 (appears as “WONDERBOOM” in this demo).

The  Bluetooth Settings  screen then changes to show something like the following.

Note that the JBL Wonderboom 1 speaker now appears as connected, as circled inside the green oval in the last picture.
