This post offers Sony SRS XB41 pairing instructions, for common smart devices, including practically all tablets and phones of the Apple and Android platforms.
With your SRS XB41 not running (power button is dark), perform these directions to pair it to your source BT mobile device. We’re using an iPad Air tablet for this demo.
Firstly, press the Home button to get to 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 running here. But since the Sony SRS XB41 is currently switched OFF (and so, is not in Bluetooth pairing mode), it does not appear in the BT devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never linked this speaker with our mobile device before.
Additionally, turn on the XB41 by quickly pressing and releasing its Power button. See this, pointed at by the aqua arrow, in the next picture.
The speaker then powers up, and its status lamp glows white, as we see in the next picture.
But since our test iPad does not know about this speaker, the XB 41 will not pair with it without our intervention.
Now, to see your speaker on your device, place it into Bluetooth discovery / pairing mode. To do that, press the Pairing button, and release after a quarter second.
Find the Pairing button as we see in the next picture, pointed at by the yellow arrow. Note that this button also serves as the Power button.
Then the speaker emits a rising pitch set of beeps, and announces in a female voice, “Bluetooth pairing.” Also, the Bluetooth Status lamp begins blinking rapidly.
See the screen shot next. We found the XB41, as pointed at by the arrow.
Tap the listed speaker in the discovered devices list.
Your mobile device then pairs with the 41.
E.g. The the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to appear as follows. Note the now-connected SRS XB41 entry, as pointed at by the yellow arrows in the next screenshot.
At last, we have now successfully paired the XB41 BT speaker with a common mobile tablet device.
