The -Bluetooth- button on the Sony SRS XB13 speaker.
This post gives Sony SRS XB13 Bluetooth pairing instructions for this Extra Bass speaker, to connect it with common portable devices. E.g. These include the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad line of Apple phones, media players, and tablets as well as many Android devices.
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.
Firstly, press the Home button to reveal the smart device’s Home screen.
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen, as shown next.
Thirdly, touch the Settings app icon.
The smart device then shows the first page of its settings, as shown in the next step.
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.
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.
Now, to see this speaker on your device, place it into pairing mode. To do that, press the Pairing button, and release after a quarter second.
Find the Bluetooth Pairing button as we see in the next picture, pointed at by the green arrow.
Then the speaker emits a rise-fall beep. Also, the Bluetooth Status lamp begins flashing in a pulse-pulse-pause-pulse-pulse-pause pattern.
See the screen shot next. We found our XB13, as we point at with the green arrow.
Tap the listed speaker in the discovered devices list.
Your mobile device then pairs with the XB13.
E.g. The the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to look something like the following. Note the now-connected SRS XB13 entry, as pointed at by the green arrows in the next screenshot.
At last, we have now successfully paired the XB13 BT speaker with with a common mobile tablet device.
