To link the JBL Wonderboom with a Bluetooth source device for the first time, or to reset the connection information on that device, you must know about the JBL Wonderboom pairing mode. You need this skill because in this mode, this speaker calls out its Bluetooth name and current linkage data on the BT airwaves. So in this post, we show pairing mode in action, so you can connect it to phones, tablets, computers, and smart speakers.

The speaker then powers ON. Further, the lamp on the top panel glows steady white, depending on speaker’s current battery charge state. This light may blink red if your battery is close to dead. But for this exercise, we assume a full battery.

Yet whether the speaker is paired or not, you can start pairing mode as follows.

2. Press the Pairing Mode Button and Release when the Pairing Light Starts Quickly Blinking

Now, to be able to find your speaker on your source Bluetooth device, place it into pairing mode. For that, press and release the the Pairing button.

The -Pairing Mode- button.

When you press this button, the speaker makes a rising plunka-dunka-dunk dunk pairing sound. Plus, the top panel Pairing Mode lamp inside the Pairing Mode button starts quickly blinking white.
