This post shows how to connect to the Sony XB 22 Extra Bass speaker via Bluetooth from common portable devices. E.g. These include the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad line of Apple phones, media players, and tablets.
With your XB 22 powered OFF (power lamp is dark), run through these directions to connect it to your source BT mobile device. We’re using an iPad Air computer for this demo.
Firstly, press the Home button to reveal the smart device’s Home screen.
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen, as shown next.
Thirdly, touch the Settings app icon.
The smart device then shows the first page of its settings, as shown in the next step.
Our Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is enabled here. But since our Sony XB 22 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 on this source device before.
Turn on the XB 22 by quickly pressing its Power-Pairing button. See this, pointed at by the cyan arrow, in the next picture, near the right edge of the buttons panel.
The speaker then powers up, and its status lamp glows white, as seen in the next picture.
But since our tablet does not know about this speaker, the XB 22 will not connect with it automatically.
Now, to see your Sony XB 22 on your device, place it into Bluetooth discovery / connecting mode. To do that, press and hold the double-duty Power-Pairing button, and release when the speaker announces, “Bluetooth connecting,” in a lady’s voice.
Then, the Bluetooth Status lamp begins fast-blinking.
See the screen shot next. We found our XB 22, as pointed at by the yellow arrow.
Tap the listed speaker in the discovered devices list.
Your mobile device then connects with the XB 22.
E.g. The the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to look something like the following. Note the now-connected XB 22 entry, as pointed at by the yellow arrows in the next screenshot.
At last, we have now successfully connected to the XB 22 BT speaker via a popular mobile tablet device.
