Resetting wipes any paired Bluetooth devices from memory. Moreover, clearing this data prevents the unit from connecting to any nearby BT devices after the reset. Further, you might reset to ready the speaker for sale or re-gifting. Or, perhaps you simply wish to stop it from pairing with devices you no longer listen to on it when you power it up.
UE Wonderboom 2 Reset Instructions: Step by Step
1. Turn on the UE Wonderboom 2
Press and release the Power button. The status lamp in that button lights and you hear a power-up sound. We circled the Power button in the next picture.
Then, the status light comes on solid or it blinks, as shown next.
2. Wait for the Power Up Sound
The UE Wonderboom 2 makes an interesting electronic sounding noise when it turns on, and the unit is then ready for use when this sound stops.
Now it may or may not pair with a device. That depends on whether you have any in-range Bluetooth devices that know about the UE Wonderboom 2. Whether paired or not, the reset works as follows.
3. Be Sure the UE Wonderboom 2 is Not Paired with Anything Prior to Reset
This speaker may not answer to the reset command while connected with a source Bluetooth device. So disconnect it before resetting.
4. Press the Power and the Volume DOWN Button Together for Five to Eight Seconds
Find the Power and Volume DOWN buttons. The Power button is on the top of the speaker, near the front. Volume DOWN is the long plum line on the front, near the bottom. See these both pointed out by the green arrows in the next picture.
The UE Wonderboom 2 then enters reset. Within a couple seconds, the unit switches off. Next, the falling electronic ker-plunk sound plays. Then the lamp in the Power button goes dark, as shown next.
5. Check that your UE Wonderboom 2 Did Indeed Reset
Next, power on the speaker again, as detailed in step 1 above.
After reset, the UE Wonderboom 2 comes up in ready-to-connect mode, with the Pairing lamp rapidly flashing white.
6. Done with UE Wonderboom 2 Reset Instructions !
The reset operation is finished now. So go ahead and gift or sell it, or connect the speaker anew with your BT devices.
Finally, don’t forget to delete any now-stale connections to this speaker from your source BT devices that you set up before resetting. These will no longer work. So you should “forget” them in your source device’s settings pages.
