Explains the JBL Charge 5 speaker connect routine, with common source devices. So these include the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad line of Apple phones and tablets. A routine with some small variation also works for Android phones and tablets.
With your 5 OFF (power button is dark), run through this routine to pair it to your mobile device. We use an iPad Air tablet in this demo.
Press the Home button to uncover the mobile device’s Home screen.
So we find ours on the second page of our Home screen.
Thirdly, tap the Settings app icon.
The source device then displays the first page of its settings, as shown in the next step.
Then the Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is ON here. But since the speaker is currently OFF, it does not appear in the Bluetooth Devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired this unit with this iPad Air before. See this as shown in this list of previously paired devices.
Turn on the speaker by quickly pressing its Power button. See this pointed at by the green arrow in the next picture.
The unit then powers up.
But since our iPad Air does not know about this speaker, it will not pair automatically.
The light in the Power switch then comes on white. The white glowing Power button denotes this not-paired state as shown next.
Now, to see the speaker on your source BT device, put the speaker into pairing mode. To do that, press and release the Pairing button, as shown in the next picture.
When you press the Bluetooth Pairing button, the 5 makes a repeating single pluck guitar note sound several times. Also, that same button starts flashing white.
We find our speaker, as follows.
Tap the listed speaker in the Other Devices section of the devices list.
Your mobile device then connects with the speaker (“JBL Charge 5” in this demo).
The device’s Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to look something like the following.
Note that the speaker now shows as paired.
Finally, we have now successfully paired the speaker with our iPad iPadOS tablet. Again, this routine also applies when pairing with Apple iPhone and iPod devices. But the screens may differ slightly on the iPhone.
