Bluetooth Pairing Instructions for Sony SRS XB13: Step by Step

With your SRS XB13 shut OFF (power button is dark), run through these directions to pair it to your source Bluetooth device. E.g. We’re using an iPad Air computer for this demo.

1. Go to the Home Screen on your Source Device

Firstly, press the Home button to reveal the smart device’s Home screen.

2. Find the Settings App

We found ours on the second page of the Home screen, as shown next.

3. Bring up the Settings App

Thirdly, touch the Settings app icon.

The smart device then shows the first page of its settings, as shown in the next step.

4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with Bluetooth Pairing Instructions for Sony SRS XB13

Our Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is enabled here. But since our Sony SRS XB13 is currently OFF (is not in Bluetooth pairing mode), it does not show up in the devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired this speaker with our mobile device before.

5. Turn On your XB13

Turn on the XB 13 by quickly pressing its  Power  button. See this, pointed at by the green arrow, in the next picture.

The speaker then powers up, and its status lamp glows green, as seen in the next picture.

But since our iPad does not know about this speaker, the speaker will not pair with it automatically.
