Then tap the  Settings   app icon.

The device then shows the first page of its  Settings   page.

4. Go to Bluetooth Settings  to Continue with JBL Clip 2 Pairing Instructions

Note that Bluetooth is running here. But the JBL Clip 2 is OFF right now. So it is not in Bluetooth discovery mode. Thus it does not show up yet. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired it with this tablet before.

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 will not pair with it automatically.
