Our Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is ON here. But our Sony SRS-XG300 is currently OFF. Thus it cannot be in Bluetooth pairing mode. So it does not appear in the Bluetooth devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never linked it with this particular mobile device before.
5. Turn On your Sony Speaker SRS-XG300
Additionally, turn on the XG300 by quickly pressing and releasing its Power button on the top.
The speaker then powers up, and its status lamp glows green.
