iPadOS Bluetooth Settings page, showing the JBL Flip 6 speaker as discovered.
This post gives a JBL Flip 6 pairing routine. This works when pairing with the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad line of Apple phones, media players, and tablets. However, a similar procedure applies to Android devices too.
With your JBL Flip 6 OFF, run through this routine to pair it to your mobile device.
We use an iPad Air tablet for this demo.
Firstly, press the Home button to reveal the mobile device’s Home screen.
We found ours on the second page of the iPadOS home screen on our iPad Air tablet.
Thirdly, tap the Settings app icon.
The device then shows the first page of its Settings page.
Our BT settings screen displays as follows. Note that Bluetooth is ON here. But since our Flip 6 is currently OFF So, it cannot be in discovery mode. Thus it does not show up in the Bluetooth Devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired it with this tablet before.
Then power up the speaker by fast pressing its Power button.
The speaker then turns on, and its power lamp lights and the Pairing lamp flashes or glows white. If blinking, this means that the speaker is ready to receive a connection request.
But since our tablet does not know about this speaker, the Flip 6 will not pair with it automatically.
So to see your Flip 6 on your iOS or iPadOS device, start up discovery mode on it. To do that, press and release the Bluetooth button.
When you press this control, the Flip 6 plays a repeating single pluck guitar note. Also, the status lamp changes to a fast flashing white.
See the screen shot next.
So tap the speaker entry in the Other Devices section of the devices list.
Your source device then pairs with it.
The tablet’s Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to look something like the following. Note the now-connected JBL Flip 6 entry.
Finally, we have now paired our Flip 6 with a tablet.
