iOS tablet, displaying its Bluetooth Settings page, showing a JBL Xtreme speaker paired, connected, and circled.
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.
Press the Home button to reveal the Home screen. See our Home screen as pictured next.
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen on our iPad Air tablet.
Tap the Settings app icon.
The tablet / iPhone then displays the first page of its Settings screen, as shown in the next screenshot
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.
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.
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.
See the screen shot next. We found ours, as pointed at by the green arrow, as seen next.
Tap the listed speaker in the Other Devices section of the Bluetooth devices list, shown above.
Your iOS device then pairs with the Xtreme (appears as “JBL Xtreme” in this demo). The Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to display something like the following.
Note that the Xtreme JBL speaker now shows as connected, as shown inside the green oval in the last picture.
Finally, we have now paired our JBL Xtreme Bluetooth speaker with an iPhone like device.
