With your 5 powered OFF, run through this routine to pair it to your mobile device.

1. Navigate to the Home Screen on your Mobile Device

Firstly, press the Home button to bring up the mobile iOS device’s Home screen.

2. Find the Settings App

The iOS device then displays the first page of its settings.

4. Go to Bluetooth Settings to Continue with JBL Flip 5 How to Pair

Our Bluetooth settings screen then displays.

Note that our Bluetooth is ON here. But since the Flip 5 is currently OFF, it does not appear in the devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired the 5 with this iPad Air before.

5. Turn On your JBL Flip 5

Then turn on the Flip 5 by quickly pressing its Power button.

The 5 then powers up.

But since the iPad does not know about this speaker, it will not pair with the 5 automatically.

6. Start Up Discovery Mode

Now, to see your JBL Flip 5 on your mobile device, place it into discovery mode. To do that, press and release the Bluetooth button.

Then the 5 plays a repeating single pluck guitar note. Also, the Bluetooth button begins flashing white.

Your source device then pairs with the 5 (“Tom’s Flip 5” in this demo). The mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to look something like the following.
