This post Sony XB 21 pairing instructions to link it with common portable devices. E.g. These include the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad line of Apple phones, media players, and tablets.
With your XB 21 powered OFF (power button is dark), run through these directions to pair it to your source device. We’re using an iPad Air tablet 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 Bluetooth is switched ON here. But since our Sony XB 21 is currently shut OFF (is not in discovery 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 speaker by quickly pressing its Power-Pairing button. See this, pointed at by the cyan arrow, in the next picture.
The unit then powers up, and its status lamp glows white, as seen in the next picture.
But since our tablet does not know about this speaker, the XB 21 will not pair with it automatically.
Now, to see your XB 21 on your device, place it into Bluetooth discovery / mode.
To do that, press and hold the Power-Pairing button, and release when you hear the rising pitch beep sequence and the speaker announces, “Bluetooth pairing,” in a lady’s voice. Find the Power-Pairing button as pictured above.
In addition to the audible announcement, the Bluetooth Status lamp begins blinking in rapid pulses.
See the screen shot next. We found our XB 21, as pointed at by the yellow arrow.
Tap the listed speaker in the discovered devices list.
Your mobile device then pairs with the XB 21.
The the mobile device’s Bluetooth Settings screen might then change to look something like the following. Note the now-connected XB 21 entry, as pointed at by the green arrows in the next screenshot.
At last, we have now successfully paired the XB 21 speaker with with a common mobile tablet device.
