JBL Clip 2 Bluetooth speaker, front view, horizontal.
This post gives JBL Clip 2 Bluetooth pairing instructions These work when pairing with the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad line of Apple phones, media players, and tablets. But similar techniques work for Android devices as well.
With your JBL Clip 2 powered off (power button is dark), run through this directions to pair it to your source Bluetooth device. We’re pairing with an iPad Air tablet in this demo.
Press the Home button to reveal the mobile iOS device’s Home screen.
We found ours on the second page of the iOS home screen, as shown next.
Tap the Settings app icon.
The device then shows the first page of its Settings page, as shown in the next step.
Our Bluetooth settings screen displays as follows. Note that Bluetooth is enabled here. But since JBL Clip 2 speaker is powered OFF right now (is not in Bluetooth discovery mode), it does not show up in the Bluetooth Devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired our speaker with this tablet before. See this as shown in this list of previously paired Bluetooth devices, shown next.
Power up this speaker by fast pressing its Power button. See this, pointed at by the green arrow, in the next picture.
The speaker then powers up, and its status lamp blinks blue. This means that it’s ready to receive a Bluetooth connection request.
But since our tablet does not know about this speaker, the Clip 2 JBL will not pair with it automatically.
Now, to see this speaker on your iOS device, place the speaker into Bluetooth discovery mode. To do that, press and release the Bluetooth button. Find this button as shown in the next picture, pointed at by the green arrow.
When you press the Bluetooth Discovery Mode button, this speaker makes a repeating single pluck guitar note sound several times. Also, the status lamp changes to a fast flashing blue. See this next, as pointed at by the green arrow.
See the screen shot next. We found our speaker, as pointed at by the green arrow.
Tap the listed speaker in the Other Devices section of the Bluetooth devices list.
Your device then pairs with this speaker.
The tablet’s Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to look something like the following. Note the now-connected JBL Clip 2 entry, as pointed at by the green arrows in the next screenshot.
Lastly, we have now successfully paired our JBL Clip 2 speaker with our tablet via Bluetooth.
