UE Wonderboom Discovery Mode

To link the UE Wonderboom with a Bluetooth source device for the first time, or to reset the connection information on that device, you must know about the UE Wonderboom discovery mode.  You need this skill because in this mode, this speaker calls out its Bluetooth name and current linkage data on the BT airwaves.  So in this post, we show the UE Wonderboom discovery mode in action, so you can connect it to phones, tablets, computers, and smart speakers.

First, turn on the unit by pressing its  Power  button once.

The speaker then powers ON. Further, the lamp on the top panel glows steady white, depending on speaker’s current battery charge state. This light may blink red if your battery is close to dead.  But for this exercise, we assume a full battery.

Yet whether the speaker is paired or not, you can start discovery mode as follows.

2. Press the Discovery Mode Button and Release when the Pairing Light Starts Quickly Blinking
