To pair your XB 13 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 XB 13 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 XB 13 on your source Bluetooth device. So, place the speaker into discovery mode by pressing and releasing the Bluetooth button, as we point it out in the next picture.
Additionally, when you press and release this button in a quarter second, the speaker plays a rise-fall beeping sound.
Warning: Do not hold in for much longer than a quarter second, as this triggers stereo pairing mode, which we do not discuss here.
Plus, the Pairing Status lamp begins flashing in a pulse-pulse-pause-pulse-pulse-pause pattern. We point out the location of this light in the last picture.
Finally, while the Bluetooth Status lamp is blinking, you should see the XB 13 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-XB13” there.
