This post shows how to pair the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Bluetooth speaker with common BT source devices like phones, tablets, and desktop computers. So to that end, start with your speaker powered OFF (all dark top panel LEDs). Then, follow these steps to pair it with most any Bluetooth source device. In this demo, we demo how to pair on an iPad Air tablet. But a similar routine works for iPhones, iPods, and Android phones and tablets as well.

How to Pair Ultimate Ears Wonderboom: Step by Step

1. Visit the Home Screen on your Bluetooth Device

4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with How to Pair Ultimate Ears Wonderboom

Then, tap the Bluetooth item, as pointed at by the dark green arrow in the last screenshot above.

Now our Bluetooth Settings screen then appears as follows. Note that we switched ON our Bluetooth on this tablet. But since the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom is currently OFF, it does not show in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists on the tablet yet, Why? Because we’ve never paired it with this iPad before. Plus, the speaker is not yet broadcasting its BT connection info. This looks something like as shown next.

Also note in this picture that no Ultimate Ears Wonderboom appears just yet.
