How to Put Ultimate Ears Wonderboom in Pairing Mode

To pair your Ultimate Ears Wonderboom speaker with a Bluetooth source device for the first time, or to refresh old connection info in that device, you have to know how to start up pairing mode on the speaker.  When in this mode, the speaker broadcasts its name and currently valid connection information over the Bluetooth airways.  Then, BT devices nearby can “hear” these broadcasts and use the information sent out to connect to them.  So in this post, we show you how to put the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom speaker into pairing mode, so you can link it with phones, tablets, computers, and smart speakers.
