The Pairing button on the Sony SRS X2 speaker.
This post shows how to connect to the Sony SRS X2 portable Bluetooth speaker from typical Bluetooth devices. E.g. Like the iPhone and the iPad line of Apple phones, media players, and tablets. You can also pair this speaker with Android devices using a similar procedure.
With your X2 powered OFF (power lamp is dark), run through these directions to connect to it from your source BT mobile device. We’re using an iPad Air portable for this demo.
Firstly, press the Home button to put up the smart device’s Home screen.
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen, as we see next.
Thirdly, touch the Settings app icon.
The smart device then shows the first page of its settings, as we describe in the next step.
Our Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is ON here. But since our SRS X2 is currently shut OFF (is not in Bluetooth discovery mode), it does not show up in the Bluetooth devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never connected to this speaker with this test mobile device before.
Turn on the X2 by quickly pressing its Power button. See this, pointed at by the green arrow, in the next picture. It’s the last button on the right in the back row of buttons on the top of the speaker.
The speaker then boots, and its Power lamp glows green.
But since our iPad does not know about this speaker, it will not connect to the X2 automatically.
Now, to see your Sony SRS X2 speaker on your device, place it into Bluetooth discovery / pairing mode. To do that, press and hold the Power-Pairing button. Release the button when the speaker makes two high beep sounds, and the Pairing lamp starts fast flashing white.
Usually takes two to three seconds to enter pairing mode.
See the screen shot next. We found the test speaker, as pointed at by the green arrow.
Tap the listed speaker in the discovered devices list.
Your mobile device then connects to the X2.
E.g. The the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to look something like the following. Note the now-connected SRS X2 entry, as pointed at by the green arrows in the next screenshot.
At last, we have now successfully connected to the X2 from a common mobile tablet device.
