Ensure Your Speaker is Ready

Before you start the connection process, make sure your wireless speaker is charged and powered on. This is crucial for a successful pairing.

Locate the Pairing Method

Next, check if your wireless speaker has a dedicated pairing button or if it uses the power button for pairing. If your speaker uses the power button, press and hold it to turn on the speaker while keeping it pressed to enter pairing mode. Look for a sound or a rapidly flashing light indicator to confirm it's in pairing mode. If your speaker has a pairing button, locate it (often marked with a Bluetooth symbol) and press and hold it until you hear a sound or see a flashing light indicating it is in pairing mode.

Prepare Your Phone for Connection

Now that your speaker is ready, it's time to prepare your phone for the connection. Follow the steps below based on your device type:

Connecting on iPhone

On your iPhone, open the Settings app.
Tap on Bluetooth.
Ensure Bluetooth is turned on (the toggle should be green).
Wait for your speaker to appear under "Other Devices."
Tap on the speaker's name to connect.

Connecting on Android

On your Android phone, tap on Connected devices.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled (the toggle switch should be on).
Select Bluetooth to view available devices.
Tap on "Pair new device" to search for devices.
Wait for your speaker to appear in the list.
Tap on the speaker's name to connect.

Confirming the Connection

After you have selected your speaker, wait a few seconds for the devices to pair. The status should update to "Connected" on your phone, indicating a successful connection.

Connecting Multiple Speakers

If you want to connect multiple speakers, check if your speakers support this feature. Some brands allow you to connect multiple speakers for a surround sound experience. You may need to download the manufacturer's app if necessary to manage multiple connections.

Follow Manufacturer Instructions

Always follow any additional instructions provided by the speaker's manufacturer for specific pairing methods or features. This can include unique steps or settings that may be required for your particular model.

Automatic Reconnection

Once paired, your phone should automatically connect to the speaker each time it is powered on, provided the speaker is within range. This feature makes it convenient to use your wireless speaker without needing to repeat the pairing process.
