The iPhone Bluetooth Settings page, showing a Sony SRS X11 speaker as Discovered.
To pair your X 11 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 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 X 11 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 yellowish arrow, in the next picture.
The speaker then comes on.
Secondly, start up discovery mode by pressing and holding the Power-Pairing button, as we point it out in the next picture. Note that this button does double duty on this unit, serving both the power on-off and Bluetooth pairing functions.
Additionally, when you hold this button in for a couple seconds, the speaker plays two high beeps. Plus, the Status lamp begins flashing in a fast blink pattern. We point out the location of this light above. It’s on the front of the speaker, on the bottom edge in the center.
Finally, while the Bluetooth Status lamp is fast blinking, you should see the X 11 on any in-range phone, computer, tablet, or smart speaker, that is within several feet of it, as we see in the last picture above. The speaker appears as “SRS-X11” there.
