JBL Wonderboom 1 Reset

Here, we demonstrate the JBL Wonderboom 1 reset routine.  This returns the unit to its default settings.

Resetting wipes any paired Bluetooth devices from memory. Clearing this data prevents the JBL Wonderboom 1 from connecting to any nearby BT devices afterwards. Further, you might reset to ready the unit for sale or re-gifting.  Or, perhaps you simply wish  to stop it from pairing with devices you no longer listen to.

JBL Wonderboom 1 Reset: Step by Step

1. Turn on the JBL Wonderboom 1

Press and release the  Power  button.  The status lamp in that button lights and you hear a power-up sound. We circled the  Power  button in the next picture.

Then, the status light comes on solid or it blinks, as shown next.

2. Wait for the Power Up Sound

The JBL Wonderboom 1 makes a unique electronic sounding noise when it turns on. The unit is then ready for use when this sound stops.

Now it may or may not pair with a device.  That depends on whether you have any in-range Bluetooth devices that know about the JBL Wonderboom 1.  Whether paired or not, the reset works as follows.

3. Unpair the JBL Wonderboom 1 Before Reset

The JBL Wonderboom 1 does not answer to the reset command while connected with a source Bluetooth device. So disconnect it before resetting.

4. Press the  Power and the  Volume DOWN Button Together for Five to Eight Seconds

Find the  Power  and Volume DOWN   buttons.  The   Power button is on the top of the JBL Wonderboom 1, near the front.  Volume DOWN  is the long plum line on the front, near the bottom.  See these both pointed out by the green arrows in the next picture.

The JBL Wonderboom 1 then enters reset.  Within a couple seconds, the unit switches off afterwards. Then the falling electronic ker-plunk sound plays. Then the status lamp in the  Power  button goes dark, as shown next.

5. Check that JBL Wonderboom 1 Reset Worked

Next, power on the unit again, as detailed in step 1 above.

Then after reset, the 1 comes up in ready-to-connect mode, with the pairing lamp rapidly flashing white.

6. Done !

The reset is complete now. So go ahead and gift or sell it, or connect it anew with your BT devices.

Finally, don’t forget to delete any now-stale connections from your source device.  Why?  Because these will no longer work.
