To pair a JBL speaker with a Bluetooth source device for the first time, or to update the connection information stored on that device, you must know how to begin pairing mode on the speaker. Now in this mode, a JBL speaker advertises its Bluetooth name and current linkage details on the BT airwaves. So in this post, we show you how to put a typical JBL speaker into discovery / pairing mode, so you can then join it to phones, tablets, computers, and smart speakers.
First, turn on the unit by pressing and releasing its Power button once.
See this button, pointed at by the bright green arrow, in the next picture.
Further, in this demo, we show how to do this on the JBL Xtreme 2 Bluetooth speaker, although just about every JBL speaker does indeed have a Power button that works the same way.
The speaker then comes on, as pictured next.
Now, to find your speaker on your source Bluetooth device, place it into pairing mode by pressing and releasing the the Pairing button, as circled in the next picture.
Plus, when you press this Pairing button, most JBL speaker models make a plucking guitar pairing sound. Further, the Power button lamp begins fast-flashing. See this in the next picture, just to the right of the Pairing and Volume Down buttons.
Next, while the Power button is flashing, you should be able to find your JBL speaker on any phone, computer, tablet, or smart speaker, that is within a small number of feet of it, as seen next. In this example, our speaker here is named “Tom’s Xtreme 2”, although if you haven’t named yours something else, it will show up as “JBL Xtreme 2”.
Finally, we have now shown how to put most any JBL speaker into pairing mode.
