Left front view of the Sony SRS XE300 speaker.
Explains Sony XE 300 factory reset directions to restore this portable BT speaker back to its default settings. Plus, doing this erases any earlier paired Bluetooth devices from memory. We might wish to clear these to prevent this speaker from pairing to any nearby Bluetooth devices. Also, you would best reset the unit to get it ready for sale or re-gifting, or to stop it from pairing with devices you no longer wish it to connect with.
Press and release the Power button for a half-second or so. Find this button as we show in the next picture. It’s the highest button on the side buttons panel.
Then, the status light comes on, as we see next. This light we find just to the left of the Power button.
The speaker makes a rising electronic sound when it boots, whether it connects to a nearby device or not. But whether or not it pairs, this reset routine works the same, as follows.
Both of these buttons we find on the panel in the back of the speaker, as called out in the next picture. Counting from the top, the Pairing button is the second button down from the top, just below the Power button. And, the Volume Down button is the fifth one down from the top, just below the Volume UP (+) button, and just above the BATT button.
Then, hold both buttons in until all lamps go out, the unit plays a power-off sound, and then the speaker shuts down completely. This takes around five seconds as the speaker factory resets.
Next, the speaker powers OFF, and the Power and Pairing lamps go dark, as shown next.
You may release the buttons when all the lights go dark.
Next, power on the XE 300 once again, as we described in step 1 above.
Now after a factory reset, this speaker comes up in pairing mode. The Pairing lamp blinks in a pulse-pulse-pause, pulse-pulse-pause pattern to tell you this. This is a signal for you to look for this speaker on a nearby BT device, and pair to it if you so desire.
The factory reset is now complete. So you may now sell or gift the unit, or pair it again with your favorite BT devices.
Moreover, the speaker no longer automatically connects with any previously paired device after this reset. Thus, to restore this auto connecting, you manually pair the XE 300 with a device. Then any time that both speaker and that device have Bluetooth ON, and they’re near to each other, pairing automatically takes place once more.
