How to Turn OFF JBL Flip 5 Speaker

We explain how to turn off the JBL Flip 5 speaker here.  Now most speakers have a Power button that’s easy to find.  Indeed, this speaker is no exception, as we find its Power button on the side button panel.

We start this demo with the unit powered UP. You can turn it OFF whether or not it is currently pairing.

There’s also a status lamp inside the Power button. This light glows when the speaker is ON.

Then it goes dark when the speaker shuts OFF.

How to Turn Off JBL Flip 5 Speaker

To power down the speaker, press and release the Power button. Press it for a quarter second or so.  Indeed, you needn’t hold it in for too long for the unit to see the press and shut itself down.

When the speaker shuts OFF, the status lamp darkens. Plus the unit plays an interesting falling guitar slide. Note when charging the unit. As long as it is still charging, the battery gauge will glow still. It take 1 to 3 seconds for the whole shut down process to complete.

But pressing the Power button may not switch the unit OFF. So it could be that the speaker is in service mode.  So try connecting the charger and take it out of this mode if so. See our JBL Flip 5 Power Button Not Working post for more details.  Or you can try resetting the speaker by following our Reset Procedure.
