How to Pair JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth Speaker

This post explains how to Pair JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth speaker. This demo shows how to do it on iOS devices, like iPhones, iPod Touches, and the iPad Air tablets. But slight variations of this routine also works for pairing this Bluetooth speaker with Android tablets and phones.

How to Pair JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth Speaker: Step by Step

Start with your JBL Flip 4 powered off (power button is dark). Then run through this routine to pair it to your BT device. Again, we use an iPad Air tablet for this demo.

1. Get to the Home Screen on your Mobile Device

First, press the Home button to reveal the device’s Home screen.

2. Find the Settings App

We found ours on the second page of the iOS home screen on our iPad Air as shown next.

3. Bring up the Settings App

Next, tap the Settings app icon.

The Bluetooth device then displays the first page of its settings, as shown in the next step.

4. Go to Bluetooth Settings to Continue with How to Pair JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth Speaker

Our Bluetooth settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is enabled here. But since JBL Flip 4 is currently OFF, we do not see it in the Bluetooth devices list. Also, it’s not there because we’ve never paired our Flip 4 with this mobile device before. See this as shown in this list of previously paired Bluetooth devices, shown next.

5. Turn On your JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth Speaker

Then, turn on the JBL Flip 4 by quickly pressing its Power button. See this circled in green, in the next picture.

The speaker then powers up.

But since our tablet does not know about this speaker, the Flip 4 will not pair with it automatically. The light that comes on in the power switch signals this not-paired state by glowing solid white, as shown next.

6. Put your Speaker into Discovery Mode

Now, to see your JBL Flip 4 speaker on your iOS device, place the speaker into Bluetooth discovery mode. To do that, press and release the Bluetooth button, as shown in the next picture.

When you press the Bluetooth Discovery Mode button, the speaker makes a repeating single pluck guitar note sound several times. Also, the power button changes from a solid white glow to flashing blue. See this next.
