UE Wonderboom 1 How to Connect

This post covers the UE Wonderboom 1 and how to connect it with common Bluetooth devices. So first, start with this speaker OFF (all dark LEDs). Then, follow along to pair it with most any source device.  So in this demo, we show how pairing works on our iPad Air mobile computer. But like procedures work for iPhones, iPods, and Android phones and tablets as well.

Next, tap the  Bluetooth  item.

Then our  Bluetooth Settings screen appears. Note that the UE Wonderboom 1 is currently OFF. So it does not show in either the  My Devices  or  Other Devices lists yet,  Why?  Because we’ve not yet paired it with this iPad before.  Furthermore, the speaker is not yet transmitting its BT connection info.
