How to Pair Sony SRS XG300: Step by Step
With your SRS XG300 OFF, the power button is dark. When it is OFF, run through these directions to pair it to your source BT device. We use an iPad Air tablet in this demo.
1. Go to the Home Screen on your Source Device
Firstly, press the Home button to reveal the smart device’s Home screen.
2. Find the Settings App

3. Bring up the Settings App
Thirdly, touch the Settings app icon.
The smart device then shows the first page of its settings.
4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with How to Pair Sony SRS XG300
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 SRX 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.
But our iPad does not know about this speaker. So the SRS XG300 will not pair with it automatically.
6. Put the SRS XG300 into Pairing Mode
Now, to see the XG300 on your device, place it into Bluetooth discovery / pairing mode. To do that, press the Pairing button. Then release it after a quarter second.
Then the speaker announces, “Bluetooth pairing.”
Also, the Bluetooth Status lamp begins flashing in a pulse-pulse-pause-pulse-pulse-pause pattern.
