This post covers JBL Xtreme 3 pairing. It demos pairing with iPadOS tablets and iOS phone devices. But similar procedures work on Android devices also. To quickly sum up, with your speaker shut off (Power button dark), run through this routine to pair your Xtreme 3 to a Bluetooth source device. We show this on an iPad Air tablet here. But pairing works nearly the same for all the other BT devices, although the screens you see might be a bit different, depending on the source unit you’re pairing.
Press the Home button to reveal the Home screen. See our Home screen as pictured next.
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen on our iPad Air tablet.
Tap the Settings app icon.
The tablet then displays the first page of its Settings screen, as we see in the next screenshot
Tap the Bluetooth item, as pointed at by the dark green arrow in the last screenshot above.
Our Bluetooth Settings screen the appears as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is enabled here. But since JBL Xtreme 3 is currently powered down, it does not show in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists yet, Why? Because we’ve never paired it with this iPad Air before, and the unit is not yet broadcasting its connection information. See this, as shown next.
Turn on this speaker by quickly pressing its Power button. See this pointed at by the green arrow in the next picture.
The speaker then comes on.
But since our iPad does not know about this speaker, the Xtreme 3 will not pair with it by itself. The light in the Bluetooth button denotes this not-paired state by either blinking white or staying dark, as shown next.
Now, to see your speaker on your phone or tablet, place the speaker into Bluetooth pairing mode. To do that, press and release the Bluetooth button on the speaker.
When you press the Bluetooth (a.k.a. Pairing) button, the speaker makes a repeating single pluck guitar note sound several times. Plus, if this button was dark, then it changes to flashing white. See this in the last picture.
To simplify the screenshots that follow, we’ve deleted from our iPad some of the Bluetooth devices not needed to illustrate the points in this demo.
See the screen shot next. We found ours, as pointed at by the green arrow, as seen next.
Tap the listed speaker in the Other Devices section of the Bluetooth devices list, shown above.
Your source device then pairs with the Xtreme 3 (appears as “JBL Xtreme 3” in this demo).
The Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to display something like the following.
Note that the Xtreme 3 JBL speaker now shows as connected, as we point out in the last picture.
We have now successfully paired our JBL Xtreme 3 Bluetooth speaker with our tablet / phone device.
