Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 Connect Bluetooth

This post details the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 connect Bluetooth procedure, to get it playing from your phone, tablet, or other BT 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 connect with most any BT source device.  Thus in this demo, we show how this connecting works on an iPad Air 3 tablet. But a like routine works for iPhones, iPods, and Android phones and tablets too.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 Connect Bluetooth: Step by Step

1. Unpack and Charge the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3

If this is a new speaker, take it out of the box and remove all wrappings and packing materials.  Then, charge it for several minutes before proceeding, as these can be pretty dead when you first get them.

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

Then 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.

4. Bring up the Settings App

Tap the Settings app icon.

Out test tablet  then shows the first page of its  Settings  screen, as shown in the next screenshot

5. Go to the  Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 Connect Bluetooth

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 connected it with this iPad before.  Plus, the speaker is not yet broadcasting its BT connection info. This looks something like as shown next.

Note in this picture that no Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 appears just yet.

6. Turn ON the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3

Power up the speaker by rapidly pressing its  Power  button.

See this button, pointed at by yellow arrow, in the next picture.

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 then comes on, letting you know this by making a startup sound.

7. Put the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 in Pairing Mode

Now, to see your Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 on your source device, place it into BT connecting mode. For that, press and release the Connecting button, as circled in the next picture.

When you press this Connecting button, the speaker makes an offbeat but cool connecting sound. Plus, a lamp in this button starts fast-flashing white. See this in the last picture above.

8. Find the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 on Your Source Device

See the picture next. We found ours, as pointed at by the blue arrow in the next picture.

9. Connect Bluetooth to Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3

Tap the listed speaker in the  Other Devices  section of the  Bluetooth Devices  list, shown above.

Your device then connects with the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 (appears as “WONDERBOOM 3” in this demo).

The  Bluetooth Settings  screen then changes to display something like the following.

Note that the speaker now shows as connected, as pointed at by the blue arrows in the last picture.
