JBL Flip 2 Bluetooth speaker, button side view, held in hand, powered on and paired.
Shows how to hard reset the JBL Flip 2 Bluetooth speaker, to return it to default out-of-box settings. We outline this routine below. Hard resetting also wipes out any prior connected BT devices from its memory. Clearing these stops the Flip 2 from pairing to any nearby Bluetooth devices afterwards.
Also, you might hard reset to prepare the speaker for sale or re gifting, or simply, to stop it from pairing with devices you no longer wish it to pair with.
Press and hold the Power button until that button lights up and the electronic blip sound plays.
The Power button appears in the next picture, as we point out there with the blue arrow.
Once you press and release, the Power button then lights up, as we see next.
The Flip makes a quick low-to-high tone blip sound when it powers on. It is then ready for hard reset after this little chirp finishes.
Now it may or may not pair with a device automatically because this depends on whether there are any in-range Bluetooth devices that know about this speaker. But whether paired or not though, hard reset works the same way, as follows.
Find the Phone and UP Volume (+) buttons. The Phone button is the one that looks like, … what else, a telephone receiver. The Volume UP (+) button is on the right in the following picture,
The Flip 2 then enters hard reset, as the next shows.
Then after a short pause, the JBL Flip 2 turns OFF. Specifically, the Power lamp goes dark, and the speaker makes the power-down high-low tone blip sound.
Next, power on the unit again, as we detail in step 1 above.
Note that after hard reset, the speaker comes up in Bluetooth discovery mode.
When the Bluetooth button blinks white, the Flip 2 is not currently paired. Indeed, we expect it would not pair to anything after hard reset, even in-range devices.
The hard reset routine is now complete. So you may safely sell or gift the speaker, or pair it again with your favorite Bluetooth devices.
After reset, the speaker no longer automatically connects with any earlier paired Bluetooth device that is in range and in pairing mode. Thus, to restore automatic Bluetooth pairing, you would first manually pair the 2 with a source device. Then, any time that both speaker and that device have Bluetooth turned on, pairing would automatically happen once again.
