The JBL Boombox 2 speaker sitting behind an iPhone.
This post shows how to pair the JBL Boombox 2 Bluetooth speaker power bank with an iPhone, or other iOS or iPadOS based device.
With your Boombox 2 switched OFF (power button is dark), run through these directions to pair it to your iPhone mobile device.
Firstly, press the Home button to bring up the smart device’s Home screen.
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen, as shown next.
Thirdly, tap the Settings app icon.
The smart device then shows the first page of its settings, as we see in the last screenshot.
Our Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is running here. But since our Boombox 2 is currently shut OFF (is not in Bluetooth pairing mode), it does not show up in the BT devices list.
Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired this speaker with our iOS device before.
Turn on the Boombox 1 by quickly pressing its Power button. See this, pointed at by the green arrow, in the next picture.
The speaker then powers up, and the Power button flashes or glows blue or lights a steady white, as we see in the next picture.
Note that the Bluetooth lamp may blink to indicate that the Boombox 2 is ready to receive a Bluetooth pairing request, or is soliciting a connection, as we see in the next picture.
If it glows white, then the speaker is passively waiting for a Bluetooth connection request to come in.
But if it flashes white, then it’s broadcasting its pairing information over Bluetooth so other devices can find it. I.e. The speaker is in pairing mode in this case.
Moreover, since our test iPhone does not know about this speaker, the Boombox 2 will not pair with it automatically.
Now, to see this speaker on your iPhone, place it into Bluetooth pairing mode if it’s not in that mode already. To do that, press the Bluetooth button, and release when the unit plays the plucking guitar sound, and the Bluetooth lamp begins fast flashing white.
Find the Bluetooth button as shown in the last picture, pointed at by the green arrow.
See the screen shot next. We found our Boombox, as we point out with the green arrow in the next screenshot.
Tap the listed speaker in the discovered devices list.
Your mobile device then pairs with it.
That is, the the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to look something like the screenshot just before this paragraph. Note the now-paired JBL Boombox 2 entry, as pointed at by the green arrow.
At last, we have now successfully paired our Boombox 2 JBL monster Bluetooth speaker with an iPhone.
