JBL Wonderboom 1 Bluetooth Speaker How to Connect

This post explains the JBL Wonderboom 1 Bluetooth Speaker How to Connect procedure, from typical wireless devices like Android phones and tablets, and Apple iPods, iPads, and iPhones. Start with your speaker powered OFF (all dark LEDs). Then, follow along to connect to it.  In this demonstration, we show how this connect works on an iPad Air tablet.

JBL Wonderboom 1 Bluetooth Speaker How to Connect: Step by Step

1. Visit the Home Screen on your Source Bluetooth Device

Press the Home button to get to the  Home   screen.  See our  Home  page as shown next.

2. Find the  Settings  App

We found ours on the second page of the  Home  screen. Most any mobile device these days has some sort of Settings app.  If yours does not, then follow the instructions in its manual for connecting to a Bluetooth speaker.

3. Bring Up the Settings App

Tap the Settings app icon.

The mobile device then displays the first page of its  Settings  screen.  The page we got on ours is shown in the next screenshot

4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with JBL Wonderboom 1 Bluetooth Speaker How to Connect

Tap the  Bluetooth  item, as pointed at by the deep green arrow in the last screenshot above.

Our  Bluetooth Settings screen then comes up as displayed next. Note that our Bluetooth is switched ON here. But since this UE  speaker is currently OFF. So it does not show in either the  My Devices  or  Other Devices lists on the tablet yet,  Why?  Because we’ve not yet connected to it from this device before.  Plus, the speaker is not yet transmitting its Bluetooth connection info. See this situation, as shown next.

Note in this picture that no UE appears yet.

5. Power On your Speaker

Turn on the unit by rapidly pressing and releasing its  Power  button. See this button, circled in green, in the next picture.

The speaker then powers UP.

6. Put the Speaker into Discovery Mode

Now, to see this speaker on your mobile device, enable pairing / discovery mode on the WB. For that, press and release the Bluetooth button, as circled in the next picture.

When you press this Pairing button, the speaker makes a distinctive sound a few times. Plus, a light in this button starts quickly blinking white. See this in the last picture above.

7. Find your JBL Wonderboom 1 Bluetooth Speaker on your Mobile Device

See the picture next. We found ours, as circled in green.

8. Next, Connect to your Speaker

Tap the listed speaker in the  Other Devices  section of the  Bluetooth Devices  list, shown above.

Your mobile device then connects to the speaker (appears as “WONDERBOOM” in this demo).

The  Bluetooth Settings  screen then changes to show something like the following.

Note that the UE speaker now appears as connected, as circled inside the green oval in the last picture.

9. Done with JBL Wonderboom 1 Bluetooth Speaker How to Connect !

We have now successfully connected our source device to this speaker.  Audio program content from that device will now play on this speaker.
