JBL Wonderboom 3 Bluetooth Pairing

This post demonstrates JBL Wonderboom 3 Bluetooth pairing to a typical smart device so that you may play music on that device and have it come through the JBL Wonderboom 3. Start with your speaker shut OFF (all dark LEDs). Then, follow along for pairing it with phones, tablets, laptops, media players, et al.

JBL Wonderboom 3 Bluetooth Pairing: Step by Step

1. Visit the Home Screen of your Smart Device

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

3. Find the  Settings  App

We found ours on the second page of the  Home  screen.

3. Bring up the Settings App

Tap the Settings app icon.  Find this pointed at in the last picture.

The iPhone then displays the first page of its  Settings  screen, as shown in the next screenshot

4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with JBL Wonderboom 3 Bluetooth Pairing

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

The Bluetooth Settings screen then appears as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is switched ON here. But since the speaker is currently OFF, it does not show in either the  My Devices  or  Other Devices lists on the tablet yet,  Why?  Because we have yet to connect it with this device for the first time.  Plus, the speaker is not yet transmitting its Bluetooth connection info. See this scenario, that appears as shown next.

Note in this picture that no JBL Wonderboom 3 appears yet.

5. Power Up your JBL Wonderboom 3

Turn on the unit by quickly pressing its  Power  button. See this button, pointed out in the next picture.

The speaker then comes on, and announces this with a rising electronic sound.  The Power button also lights up, as we see next.

6. Put your JBL Wonderboom 3 into Discovery Mode

Now, to see the speaker on your iPhone, place it into BT discovery mode. For that, press and hold the Bluetooth button located as we see in the next picture. It’s on the top, at the twelve o’clock position in he buttons panel. Release the button when you hear the rising plunks sound.

Also, a lamp in this button starts quickly flashing white.

See the picture next. We found ours, as pointed out next.

8. Pair with your JBL Wonderboom 3

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

Your device then connects with the speaker (appears as “WONDERBOOM 3” in this demo).

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