To pair your SRS XB12 Sony speaker with a Bluetooth device for the first time, or to refresh old connection info in that device, you have to know how to start up discovery mode on this BT speaker. Now in this mode, the speaker broadcasts its name and currently valid connection information over the Bluetooth airwaves, so that nearby Bluetooth source devices can find and connect to it. Thus in this post, we show you how to make the Sony SRS XB12 speaker discoverable, to allow you to link it with phones, tablets, computers, and smart speakers.
Firstly, turn on the speaker by rapidly pressing its Power button.
E.g. See this button, pointed out by the green arrow, in the next picture.
The speaker then comes on.
Secondly, this lets you discover your XB12 on your source Bluetooth device. So, place the speaker into discovery mode by pressing and holding the the Power button, as pointed out in the first picture above.
Additionally, when you press and hold this Power button, that doubles as the Discovery Mode button, the speaker plays two high beeps. Plus, the status lamp begins rapidly flashing blue.
Finally, while the Status lamp is blinking, you should see the XB12 on any in-range phone, computer, tablet, or smart speaker, that is within several feet of it, as shown next.
