How to Connect Wonderboom

This post shows how to connect Wonderboom with common Bluetooth devices. So first, start with this speaker OFF (all dark LEDs). Then, follow along to pair it with most any source device.

Then our Bluetooth Settings screen appears. Note that the Wonderboom is currently OFF. So it does not show in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists yet, Why? Because we’ve not yet paired it with this iPad before. Furthermore, the speaker is not yet transmitting its BT connection info.
