We explain how to factory reset the Sony SRS XB12 BT speaker to set it back to its default settings. Factory resetting restores the XB12 to out-of-the-box default state. Plus, it wipes any earlier connected Bluetooth devices from its memory. Clearing these stops this unit from pairing to any nearby BT devices. Also, you might factory reset to get this unit ready for sale or re-gifting, or to stop it from syncing with devices you no longer wish it to sync with.
Press the Power button for a half-second or so and then let it go.
E.g. Find the Power button as we show in the next picture.
Then, the status light comes on, as shown next.
The speaker may make a ping-pang tone sound as it starts up, should it pair to a nearby device. Or it may make no beeps at all if it joins with no devices upon booting. Yet whether paired or not, these factory reset directions works the same way, as follows.
Find both buttons near the bottom of the speaker, as called out in the next picture.
The XB12 then enters factory reset mode.
After a small pause, the unit powers OFF, and the power lamp goes OFF, as shown next. Note that on the SRS XB12, there is no power-down sound.
Next, power on the unit again, as we detail in step 1.
Note that after a factory reset, the XB12 comes up in pairing / discovery mode. The Status lamp blinks blue rapidly to alert you to this. This is a prompt that you may then find this speaker on a nearby BT device, and pair to it if you so desire.
Factory reset is now done. So you may now gift or sell this speaker, or link it again with your favorite streaming devices.
After a factory reset, the XB12 no longer auto syncs with any earlier paired Bluetooth device. Thus, to set up automatic connecting again, you manually pair it with a device. Then, any time that both speaker and that device have Bluetooth turned on, and they’re near to each other, pairing automatically happens once more.
