Then the  Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is active here. But our SRS X2 is currently OFF. So it cannot be in Bluetooth discovery mode. Thus it does not appear in the Other Devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired this speaker with our mobile device before.
