This shows pairing to a typical smart device so that you may play music on that device and have it come through the Logitech Wonderboom 3.

Logitech Wonderboom 3 Not Pairing: The Right Way to Do It

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

4. Go to the  Bluetooth Settings  Page to Continue with Logitech Wonderboom 3 Not Pairing Solution

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 should be switched ON here.

But since the 3 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 3 is not yet transmitting its Bluetooth connection info. See this scenario, that appears as shown next.
