This post offers general UE Roll pairing directions. Start with your Ultimate Ears speaker (UE) powered OFF (all dark back panel LEDs). Then, follow these directions to pair it with most any Bluetooth device. In this demo, we show how this pairing works on our iPad Air mobile computer. But a similar routine works for other iOS devices, and Android phones and tablets as well.
UE Roll Pairing: Step by Step
1. Visit the Home Screen on your Mobile Device to Pair
Press the Home button to get to the Home iPad page. See our Home screen as shown next.
2. Find the Settings App
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen on our tablet.
3. Bring up the Settings App to Continue with UE Roll Pairing
Tap the Settings app icon.
The device then puts up the first page of its Settings screen, as shown in the next screenshot
4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page
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 UE Roll 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 never paired it with this device before. Plus, the speaker is not yet broadcasting its BT connection info. See this case, that looks something like as shown next.
Note in this picture that there’s no UE Roll listed yet.
5. Turn On the UE Roll
Turn on this UE by quickly pressing its Power button. See this button, pointed at by the green arrow, in the next picture.
The speaker then comes on.
6. Put your UE Roll into Pairing Mode to Continue with UE Roll Pairing
Now, to see your UE Roll on your tablet / phone, place the Roll into BT pairing mode. For that, press and release the Bluetooth button, as highlighted in the next picture.
When you press this Pairing button, the speaker makes several tapping-on-bongos sounds. Plus, an LED in this button starts quickly flashing white. See this in the last picture above.
7. Find your UE Roll on your Source Device
See the picture next. We found ours, as circled in green.
8. Pair with your UE Roll
Tap the listed speaker in the Other Devices section of the Bluetooth Devices list, shown above.
Your device then pairs with the Roll (appears as “UE Roll” in this demo).
The Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to display something akin to the following.
Note that the UE speaker now shows as connected, as circled inside the green oval in the last picture.
9. UE Roll Pairing Done !
We have finally paired our UE Roll with a typical mobile device successfully. Audio output from that device now plays on this wireless speaker, which, we hope, is what you want.
