This post shows how to Pair jbl Xtreme to iPhone and tablet devices. With your speaker shut off (Power button dark), run through this routine to pair your Xtreme to an iPhone, or other iOS device. We demo this an iPad Air tablet . But pairing is nearly the same for all the other iOS devices, although the screen arrangements may differ depending on the unit you’re using.

4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with How to Pair JBL Xtreme to iPhone
Tap the Bluetooth item, as pointed at by the dark green arrow in the last screenshot above.
Then, our Bluetooth Settings screen the appears as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is enabled here. But since JBL Xtreme speaker is currently powered down, it does not show in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists yet, Why? Because we’ve never paired it with this iPad Air before, and the speaker is not yet broadcasting its connection information. See this, as shown next.
5. Turn On your JBL Xtreme Bluetooth Speaker
Turn on this speaker by quickly pressing its Power button. See this pointed at by the green arrow in the next picture.
The speaker then comes on.
But since our iPad does not know about this speaker, the Xtreme will not pair with it by itself. The light that comes to life in the power switch denotes this not-paired state by glowing solid white or blinking blue, as shown next.
6. Put your JBL Bluetooth Speaker into Pairing Mode
Now, to see your JBL Xtreme speaker on your iOS phone or tablet, enter the speaker into Bluetooth pairing mode. To do that, press and release the Bluetooth button on the speaker, as highlighted in the next picture.
When you press the Pairing button, the speaker makes a repeating single pluck guitar note sound several times. Plus, the Power button changes from a solid white glow to flashing blue. See this in the last picture.
To simplify the screenshots that follow, we’ve deleted from our iPad some of the Bluetooth devices not needed to illustrate the points in this demo.
