How to Put Wonderboom Speaker into Pairing Mode

To pair your Wonderboom speaker with a Bluetooth source device for the first time, or to refresh old connection information in that device, you have to know how to start up discovery mode on the speaker. Why? Because in this mode, the speaker broadcasts its name and currently valid connection information over the Bluetooth airways, which allows nearby devices to pair to it. So in this post, we show you how to put the Wonderboom 1 speaker into pairing mode, to allow you to link it with phones, tablets, computers, and smart speakers.
