JBL Charge 5 Bluetooth Pairing

Gives procedure for JBL Charge 5 Bluetooth pairing. This works for source devices like the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad line of Apple phones and tablets. Moreover, a similar routine also works for Android phones and tablets.

JBL Charge 5 Bluetooth Pairing: Step by Step

With your Charge 5 OFF (power button is dark), run through this routine to pair it to your mobile device. We do this on an iPad Air tablet in this demo.

1. Find your Way to the Home Screen on your Tablet or Phone

Press the Home button to uncover the mobile device’s Home screen.

2. Find the Settings App

Then we find ours on the second page of our Home screen.

3. Bring up the Settings App

So tap the Settings app icon.

The source device then displays the first page of its settings, as shown in the next step.

4. Go to Bluetooth Settings to Continue with JBL Charge 5 Bluetooth Pairing

Then the Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is active here. But this speaker is currently OFF. So it does not show up in the Bluetooth Devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired this speaker with this iPad Air before. See this in this list of previously paired Bluetooth devices.

5. Turn On your JBL Charge 5

So switch ON the 5 by quickly pressing its Power button. See this pointed at by the green arrow in the next picture.

The speaker then boots and comes on.

But since our iPad does not know about this particular speaker, it will not pair with it automatically.

The light in the Power switch then comes on white. Furthermore, this glowing Power button denotes this not-paired state as shown next.

6. Put your Speaker into Bluetooth Pairing-Discovery Mode

Now, to see your JBL Charge 5 on your source BT device, put the speaker into Bluetooth discovery mode. To do that, press and release the Pairing button, as shown in the next picture.

When you press the Bluetooth Pairing button, the speaker makes a repeating single pluck guitar note sound several times. Also, that same button starts flashing white. See this next,

7. Find your JBL Charge 5 on your Source Device

Then see the screen shot next. We found our Bluetooth speaker.

Tap the listed speaker in the Other Devices section of the Bluetooth devices list, shown above.

Your mobile device then pairs with the speaker (“JBL Charge 5” in this demo).

The device’s Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to look something like the following.
