This post gives a procedure to Sync Ultimate Ears Wonderboom to common Bluetooth devices. Start with your Ultimate Ears Wonderboom switched OFF (all dark LEDs). Then, follow along to Sync it with most any Bluetooth source device. In this demo, we show how Syncing works on our iPad Air mobile computre. But like procedures work for iPhones, iPods, and Android phones and tablets as well.

1. Visit the Home Screen on your Source Bluetooth Device

4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with Sync Ultimate Ears Wonderboom

Tap the Bluetooth item, as pointed at by the dark green arrow in the last screenshot above.

Our Bluetooth Settings screen then appears as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is switched ON here. But since the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom speaker is currently OFF, it does not show in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists on the tablet yet, Why? Because we’ve not yet Synced it with this iPad before. Plus, the speaker is not yet transmitting its BT connection info. See this scenario, that appears as shown next.
