How do I pair my JBL speaker to my phone?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

To pair your JBL speaker to your phone, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Begin by ensuring that your phone’s Bluetooth capability is turned on. You can usually find this option in the Settings menu of your phone. Look for the Bluetooth option and toggle it on.

2. Once Bluetooth is enabled on your phone, go to the Bluetooth settings menu. This can typically be found under the Connectivity or Wireless & Networks section in your phone’s Settings.

3. In the Bluetooth settings menu, you will see a list of available devices that your phone can connect to. Look for the option to “Pair new device” or “Scan for devices.” Tap on this option to initiate a search for nearby Bluetooth devices.

4. While your phone is scanning, make sure your JBL speaker is in pairing mode. Most JBL speakers have a dedicated button or switch to enter pairing mode. Refer to your speaker’s user manual if you are unsure how to do this. When the speaker is in pairing mode, it should be discoverable by your phone.

5. Once your phone detects the JBL speaker, it will appear in the list of available devices on your phone’s screen. Tap on the name of your JBL speaker to select it.

6. Your phone will now attempt to pair with the JBL speaker. During this process, you may be prompted to confirm a pairing code or PIN. Follow the on-screen instructions and enter the necessary code if prompted. Note that not all devices require a code for pairing.

7. After successfully entering the code or confirming the pairing, your phone should now be connected to the JBL speaker. You may see a notification or confirmation message on your phone’s screen indicating the successful pairing.

8. Test the connection by playing audio on your phone and ensuring that it is being output through the JBL speaker. Adjust the volume on both your phone and the speaker as needed.

It’s important to note that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on your specific phone model and the JBL speaker you are trying to pair. If you encounter any issues or have difficulty following these instructions, I recommend referring to the user manual for your phone and the JBL speaker for more detailed instructions tailored to your specific devices.

Remember that Bluetooth pairing is a one-time setup process, and once your phone and JBL speaker are successfully paired, they should automatically connect to each other whenever they are in range and both have Bluetooth enabled.
