The top front view of the JBL Flip 6 speaker.
Gives answers for when the JBL Flip 6 hard reset is not working. Then gives directions to successfully restore the 6 to default settings.
Hard reset may not be working if your speaker is in service mode. So you need to get it back into normal operational mode as follows.
A dying battery can make the buttons on the Flip 6 unresponsive. So in some cases this may cause the JBL Flip hard reset not working problem.
So in this situation, simply connect the speaker to AC power. Then wait a few minutes for it to charge a little. Then try the hard reset again. We include the correct hard reset procedure below.
Hard resetting erases any earlier paired Bluetooth devices from memory. Clearing these stops the 6 from pairing to any nearby Bluetooth devices after the reset. Also, you might hard reset to get the Flip 6 ready for sale or re gifting. Or, simply reset to stop it from auto pairing with devices you no longer have interest in.
Press and hold the Power button until it lights up.
Then, the Power button lights up along with the battery power scale. Here, since we’ve paired the speaker with Bluetooth devices before this, it does not enter Bluetooth discovery mode. We know that because the Power button is glows solid gray, rather than blinking blue.
The Flip 6 plays a rising rock guitar strum sound when it comes on. Then it is ready for use.
See the next picture to find the Play-Pause and UP Volume buttons.
The Flip 6 then enters hard reset. Note that both the Bluetooth and Power buttons light up gray white for a couple seconds.
Then after a short pause, the Flip 6 turns off. All the lights go off, and it plays the power-down guitar sound.
Next, power on the device again, as detailed in step 1 above.
Now this time, after hard reset, the Flip 6 comes up in discovery mode. Note that the Bluetooth button blinks white to indicate this. When this button blinks, this means that the unit does not have a current pairing. Indeed, we expect it not to auto pair to anything after a hard reset.
Hard resetting is now complete. You may now pack up the Flip 6 for sale, or pair it again with your favorite devices. So the unit will no longer automatically connect with any device. So to restore auto pairing, manually pair the speaker with a tablet or phone. Then, any time that both the Flip 6 and that device are in range, auto pairing occurs once more.
