4. Done with How to Reset a Sony SRS XG300 !

The reset is now finished. Thus you may now safely sell or gift this speaker, or pair it again with your Bluetooth devices.

Keep in mind that after you do this, the XG300 no longer automatically pairs with any previously paired BT device. Thus, to set up auto connecting again, you first manually pair this speaker with a device. Then following that, any time that both speaker and device have Bluetooth turned on, and they’re near each other, pairing will automatically take place once more.
