Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Pairing

A Wonderboom 1 alongside a Google Home Mini.

This post gives Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 pairing routine for common wireless devices. Start with your Wonderboom shut OFF (all dark LEDs). Then, follow along to pair it with most any source device. 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.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Pairing: Step by Step

1. Visit the Home Screen on your Source Device

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

2. Find the Settings App

Practically all mobile devices have a Settings app.

We found ours on the second page of the Home screen on our tablet.

4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Pairing

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 Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 is currently OFF, it does not show in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists on the tablet yet, Why? Because we’ve not yet paired it with this iPad before. Plus, the speaker is not yet transmitting its BT connection info. See this scenario, that appears as shown next.
