Resetting wipes any paired Bluetooth devices from memory. Clearing this data prevents the UE Wonderboom from connecting to any nearby BT devices afterwards. Further, you might reset to ready the unit for sale or re-gifting. Or, perhaps you simply wish to stop it from pairing with devices you no longer listen to.

How to Reset A UE Wonderboom: Step by Step

1. Turn on the UE Wonderboom

Press and release the Power button. The status lamp in that button lights and you hear a power-up sound. We circled the Power button in the next picture.

Then, the status light comes on solid or it blinks, as shown next.

The glowing -Power- button.

2. Wait for the Power Up Sound

The UE Wonderboom makes a unique electronic sounding noise when it turns on. The unit is then ready for use when this sound stops.

Now it may or may not pair with a device. That depends on whether you have any in-range Bluetooth devices that know about the UE Wonderboom. Whether paired or not, the reset works as follows.

3. Unpair the UE Wonderboom Before Reset

The UE Wonderboom does not answer to the reset command while connected with a source Bluetooth device. So disconnect it before resetting.

4. Press the Power and the Volume DOWN Button Together for Five to Eight Seconds

Find the Power and Volume DOWN buttons. The Power button is on the top of the UE Wonderboom, near the front. Volume DOWN is the long plum line on the front, near the bottom. See these both pointed out by the green arrows in the next picture.

The -Power- and -Volume DOWN- buttons.

The UE Wonderboom then enters reset. Within a couple seconds, the unit switches off afterwards. Then the falling electronic ker-plunk sound plays. Then the status lamp in the Power button goes dark, as shown next.
