This post covers the JBL Wonderboom Speaker and how to connect it with common Bluetooth devices. So first, start with this speaker OFF (all dark LEDs). Then, follow along to pair it with most any source device. So in this demo, we show how pairing works on our iPad Air mobile computer. But like procedures work for iPhones, iPods, and Android phones and tablets as well.

Next, tap the Bluetooth item.
Then our Bluetooth Settings screen appears. Note that the JBL Wonderboom Speaker is currently OFF. So it does not show in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists yet, Why? Because we’ve not yet paired it with this iPad before. Furthermore, the speaker is not yet transmitting its BT connection info.

Then, turn on the WB by quickly pressing its Power button.
The unit then comes on.
6. Start Pairing Mode
So to see this speaker on your iPad Air, place it into pairing mode. For that, press and release the Bluetooth button.
When you press this Pairing button, the speaker makes a distinctive sound several times. Plus, a lamp in this button starts rapidly flashing white.
