These JBL Clip 3 reset instructions demonstrate restoring this Bluetooth speaker to its default settings. Resetting returns this speaker to factory default state. Plus, it clears any prior paired devices from its memory. Erasing these stops the Clip 3 from pairing to any nearby Bluetooth devices after reset. Also, you might reset to get the unit ready for sale or re gifting. Or, just reset to stop it from connecting with devices you no longer wish to use.

The speaker makes a rising electric guitar strum sound when it powers up. Then, the 3 is ready for reset after this sound finishes. It may or may not pair with a device.

The JBL Clip 3 reset is now complete. So you may now sell or gift it, or pair it again with your favorite Bluetooth devices.

After a reset, the speaker no longer automatically connects with any device. Thus, to restore auto pairing, you manually pair the speaker with a device. Finally, whenever both are in range, pairing automatically happens once more.
