This post demonstrates Wonderboom 3 pairing to a typical smart device so that you may play music on that device and have it come through the Wonderboom 3. Start with your speaker shut OFF (all dark LEDs). Then, follow along for pairing it with phones, tablets, laptops, media players, et al.
Wonderboom 3 Pairing: Step by Step
1. Visit the Home Screen of your Smart Device
Press the Home button to get to the Home page. See our screen as shown next.
3. Find the Settings App
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen.
3. Bring up the Settings App
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
4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with Wonderboom 3 Pairing
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 is switched ON here. 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 have yet to connect it with this device for the first time. Plus, the speaker is not yet transmitting its Bluetooth connection info. See this scenario, that appears as shown next.
Note in this picture that no Wonderboom 3 appears yet.
5. Power Up your Wonderboom 3
Turn on the unit by quickly pressing its Power button. See this button, pointed out in the next picture.
The speaker then comes on, and announces this with a rising electronic sound. The Power button also lights up, as we see next.
6. Put your Wonderboom 3 into Discovery Mode
Now, to see the speaker 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.
7. Find your Wonderboom 3 on your Smart Device
