This post describes how to connect to Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2, to get the unit playing from your phone, tablet, or other Bluetooth device. First, of course, for new Wonderbooms, unpack them and make sure that they have some charge in their batteries. Then, with your Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 turned OFF (all dark top panel LEDs), follow these steps to pair with most any BT source device. Thus in this demo, we show how this pairing works on an iPad Air 3 tablet. But a like routine works for iPhones, iPods, and Android phones and tablets too.
For detailed charging instructions, see our Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 Charging Instructions post.
Then press the Home button to get to the Home page. See our Home screen as shown next on our iPad.
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen on our tablet.
Tap the Settings app icon.
The iPad Air 3 then shows the first page of its Settings screen, as shown in the next screenshot
Tap the Bluetooth item, as pointed at by the dark green arrow in the last screenshot above.
Our Bluetooth Settings screen then appears as follows. Note that we switched ON our Bluetooth on this tablet. But since the 2 is currently OFF, it does not show in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists on the tablet yet, Why? Because we’ve never paired it with this iPad before. Plus, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 is not yet broadcasting its BT connection info. This looks something like as shown next.
Note in this picture that no Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 appears just yet.
Turn on the 2 by rapidly pressing its Power button.
See this button, pointed at by yellow arrow, in the next picture.
The unit then comes on, letting you know this by making a startup sound.
Now, to see the 2 on your iPad Air, place it into BT pairing mode. For that, press and release the Bluetooth button, as circled in the next picture.
When you press this Pairing button, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 makes an offbeat but cool pairing sound. Plus, a lamp in this button starts fast-flashing white. See this in the last picture above.
See the picture next. We found ours, as follows.
Tap the listed speaker in the Other Devices section of the Bluetooth Devices list, shown above.
Your iPad Air then pairs with the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 (appears as “WONDERBOOM 2” in this demo).
The Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to display something like the following.
Note that the 2 now shows as paired, as pointed at by the yellow arrows in the last picture.
We have now successfully connected the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 to an iPad Air 3 tablet. Audio output from that iPad now plays on this speaker, which is what you want. Bluetooth set up like this works with most other Bluetooth source devices as well.
