1. Visit the Home Screen on your Source Bluetooth Device

Press the Home button to get to the Home screen. See our Home page as shown next.

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

Our Bluetooth Settings screen then comes up as displayed next. Note that our Bluetooth is switched ON here. But since this UE speaker is currently OFF. So it does not show in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists on the tablet yet, Why? Because we’ve not yet connected to it from this device before. Plus, the speaker is not yet transmitting its Bluetooth connection info. See this situation, as shown next.
