This post shows how to pair the Sony X 2 portable Bluetooth speaker with common wireless devices. E.g. These include the iPhone and the iPad line of Apple phones, media players, and tablets. You can also pair this speaker with Android devices using a similar procedure.
How to Pair Sony X 2, Step by Step
With your X 2 powered OFF (power lamp is dark), run through these directions to pair it to your source BT mobile device. We’re using an iPad Air tablet for 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
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen, as shown next.
3. Bring up the Settings App
Thirdly, touch the Settings app icon.
The smart device then shows the first page of its settings, as shown in the next step.
4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with How to Pair Sony X 2
Our Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is enabled here. But since our X 2 is currently shut OFF (is not in Bluetooth discovery mode), it does not show up in the Bluetooth devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired this speaker with our mobile device before.
5. Turn On your Sony X 2 Speaker
Turn on the X 2 by quickly pressing its Power button. See this, pointed at by the green arrow, in the next picture.
The speaker then powers up, and its status lamp glows green, as seen in the next picture.
But since our iPad does not know about this speaker, the X 2 will not pair with it automatically.
6. Put the X`2 into Pairing Mode
Now, to see your Sony X 2 speaker on your device, place it into Bluetooth discovery / pairing mode. To do that, press and hold the Power-Pairing button. Release the button when the speaker makes two high beep sounds, and the Pairing lamp starts fast flashing white.
Usually takes two to three seconds to enter pairing mode. Find the Power-Pairing button as shown above.
7. Find the Speaker on your Mobile Device to Continue with How to Pair Sony X 2
See the screen shot next. We found the test speaker, as pointed at by the green arrow.
8. Pair with your Speaker
Tap the listed speaker in the discovered devices list.
Your mobile device then pairss with the X 2.
E.g. The the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to look something like the following. Note the now-connected X 2 entry, as pointed at by the green arrows in the next screenshot.
9. Done with How to Pair the Sony X 2 !
At last, we have now successfully paired the X 2 with a common mobile tablet device.
