JBL Xtreme 2 Reset Instructions

Top view of the JBL Xtreme 2 power bank speaker.

We give here JBL Xtreme 2 Reset Instructions, for returning the Bluetooth speaker to its default factory settings. Resetting the JBL Xtreme 2 restores this speaker to factory default state. A reset also clears any earlier paired Bluetooth devices from the JBL Xtreme 2’s memory. Clearing old settings stops this speaker from pairing to any nearby active Bluetooth devices after the reset that are in range. Also, you might reset to get it ready for sale or re gifting, or to stop it from pairing with devices you no longer wish it to connect with.

JBL Xtreme 2 Reset Instructions: Step by Step

1. Turn on the JBL Xtreme 2

When this speaker is off, all buttons are dark, including the Power button, as shown next.

Then, press and release the Power button. That button should right away light up as shown in the following pictures. Find the Power button, as shown in the last picture above, pointed at by the green arrow.

Next, the Power button comes on, as shown next. In our case, since we’ve paired the speaker with our tablet before this, it automatically pairs with it now. We know that because the Power button glows solid blue, rather than blinking blue or white. Yours may glow different colors or flash patterns depending on the speaker’s pairing state.

The -Power- button glowing blue, meaning that the JBL Xtreme 2 is ON and paired.

2. Wait for the Power Up Sound

The speaker makes a rising electric guitar strum sound when it powers up. The JBL Xtreme 2 is ready for reseting after this sound dies down. If your speaker pairs with an in-range Bluetooth device, you’ll also hear the three rising single guitar notes a few seconds after the startup cord. At any rate, whether or not the speaker pairs with a Bluetooth device does not change how you reset it. In either case, the reset instructions are the same, as we describe next.

3. Press the Volume UP and Play-Pause Buttons Together

The -Volume UP- and -Play Pause- buttons.

The JBL Xtreme 2 then enters reset.

Note that both the Power and Connect+ buttons light up for a couple seconds as reset advances. The Power button glows a pale blue or white, and the Connect+ button glows gray-white for a second or two.

The -Power- and -Connect- buttons glowing during reset.

Then after a short pause, the JBL Xtreme 2 turns off. All the lights go off, and it makes the power-down guitar sound.

4. Next, Check that Reset Did Indeed Happen

Next, power on the JBL Xtreme 2 again, as described in step 1 earlier. In short, press and release the Power button, as shown next.

Now this time, after reset, our speaker immediately comes up in Bluetooth pairing mode, as pictured next.

Note that we did not press the Bluetooth button first, since after a reset, the 3 automatically enters pairing mode. Note that the Power button blinks blue to show that this mode is in effect. When the Power button blinks blue or shows as solid white, the speaker is not currently paired. We expect it not to auto pair to anything right after reset.

The -Power- button flashing blue, meaning that the JBL Xtreme 2 is ON and in pairing mode.

5. Done with JBL Xtreme 2 Reset Instructions !

Reset of the JBL Xtreme 2 is complete at last. You may now pack it up for sale, or pair it again with your favorite Bluetooth devices.

The JBL Xtreme 2 will no longer automatically pair with any previously paired in-range Bluetooth device in Bluetooth pairing mode. So, to restore automatic BT pairing, you’ll need to forget the previously paired speaker listed in the Bluetooth devices section of your source device settings. Once done, then manually pair the speaker with that device again if so desired. Then after that, any time that both speaker and that device have Bluetooth turned on, pairing with automatically happen once again.
