Resetting wipes any paired Bluetooth devices from memory. Clearing this data prevents the speaker from connecting to any nearby BT devices afterwards.

2. Wait for the Power Up Sound

The Wonderboom makes a unique electronic sounding noise when it turns on. The speaker is then ready for use when this sound stops.

Now it may or may not pair with a device.  That depends on whether you have any in-range Bluetooth devices that know about the Wonderboom.  Whether paired or not, the reset works as follows.

3. Unpair the Speaker Before Reset

This speaker does not answer to the reset command while connected with a source Bluetooth device. So disconnect it before resetting.





4. Press the  Power  and the   Volume DOWN  Button Together for Five to Eight Seconds

Find the  Power  and Volume DOWN   buttons.  The   Power button is on the top of the Wonderboom, near the front.  Volume DOWN  is the long plum line on the front, near the bottom.  See these both pointed out by the green arrows in the next picture.
