Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 Setup Instructions

This post offers general Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 setup instructions, to get your speaker playing music from your phone, tablet, or other Bluetooth source device. First, of course, for new speakers, unpack them and make sure that they have some charge in their batteries.  Then, with your speaker turned OFF (all dark top panel LEDs), follow these steps to set it up with most any BT source device.  Finally, in this demo, we show how this setup works on an iPad Air tablet. But a like routine works for iPhones, iPods, and Android phones and tablets too.





Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 Setup Instructions, Step by Step

1. Unpack and Charge the Speaker

First, for detailed charging instructions, see our   Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 Charging Instructions   Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 Charging Instructions    post.

2. Next, Visit the Home Screen on your Bluetooth Device

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

3. Find the iPad  Settings  App

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

5. Go to the  Bluetooth Settings  Page to Continue with Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 Setup Instructions

Next, 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 we switched ON our Bluetooth on this tablet. But since the speaker is currently OFF, it does not show in either the  My Devices  or  Other Devices lists on the tablet yet,  Why?  Because we’ve never paired it with this iPad before.  Plus, the speaker is not yet broadcasting its BT connection info. This looks something like as shown next.
