So turn on this unit by quickly pressing its Power button. The speaker then boots and that button starts glowing white.
The speaker then powers up and makes a rising guitar strum sound.
But since the iPhone does not know about this Flip 6, it will not pair to it automatically. The light in the Pairing button denotes this not-paired state by either remaining dark, or by quick flashing.
