The Wonderboom 1 top view. Showing the -Bluetooth Pairing- button.
This post explains how to avoid the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Speaker Not Pairing problem, by giving the correct way to pair it. This shows pairing to a typical smart device so that you may play music on that device and have it come through the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Speaker. Start with your Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Speaker shut OFF (all dark LEDs). Then, follow along for pairing it with phones, tablets, laptops, media players, et al.
Press the Home button to get to the Home page. See our screen as shown next.
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen.
Tap the Settings app icon. Find this pointed at in the last picture.
The iPhone then displays the first page of its Settings screen, as shown in the next screenshot
Tap the Bluetooth item, as pointed at by the green arrow in the last screenshot.
The Bluetooth Settings screen then appears as follows. Note that our Bluetooth should be switched ON here.
But since the 3 is currently OFF, it does not show in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists on the tablet yet, Why? Because we have yet to connect it with this device for the first time. Plus, the 3 is not yet transmitting its Bluetooth connection info. See this scenario, that appears as shown next.
Note in this picture that no Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Speaker appears yet.
Turn on the unit by quickly pressing its Power button. See this button, pointed out in the next picture.
The 3 then comes on, and announces this with a rising electronic sound. The Power button also lights up, as we see next.
If the 3 does not come on, then see our Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Speaker Power Button Not Working Fixes piece to solve this.
Now, to see the 3 on your iPhone, place it into BT discovery mode. For that, press and hold the Bluetooth button located as we see in the next picture. It’s on the top, at the twelve o’clock position in he buttons panel. Release the button when you hear the rising plunks sound.
Also, a lamp in this button starts quickly flashing white.
See the picture next. We found ours, as pointed out next.
Tap the listed speaker in the Other Devices section of the Bluetooth Devices list, shown above. If the unit does not appear on the source device, try moving it closer, powering it off and then back on again. Or at worst, you may have to reset the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Speaker.
Your device then connects with the 3 (appears as “WONDERBOOM 3” in this demo).
The Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to display something like the following.
Note that the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Speaker now appears as connected, as pointed out in the last picture.
Lastly, we have now successfully paired the 3 with the test source device. So now, audio output from that device now plays on the 3.
