Let’s get started!
Step 1: Power on the Bose SoundLink Speaker
To start the pairing process, make sure you power on your Bose SoundLink Speaker. Locate the power button on the speaker, usually located on the top or side. Press and hold the power button until you see the speaker’s LED indicator light up, indicating that it is powered on.
Once the speaker is powered on, it will automatically enter pairing mode, and you will be able to connect it to your device via Bluetooth. Keep in mind that the SoundLink speaker should appear on the Bluetooth page of your device if it is powered on and in pairing mode. If you don’t see it listed, try refreshing the list or toggling Bluetooth off and on.
Remember to ensure that the speaker is charged and in close proximity to your device for a successful pairing process.
Step 2: Put the Speaker in Pairing Mode
Make sure the speaker is powered on and within close proximity to your device for successful pairing.
To put the Bose SoundLink speaker in pairing mode, press and hold the Bluetooth button on the speaker until you hear a tone or see the Bluetooth LED indicator flashing blue. This indicates that the speaker is now in pairing mode and ready to connect to your device.
Once the speaker is in pairing mode, go to the Bluetooth settings on your device and search for available devices. The Bose SoundLink should appear on the list. Tap on it to connect.
If the speaker does not appear, try refreshing the list or toggling Bluetooth off and on.
Once the speaker is successfully paired, the Bluetooth LED indicator will be steady.
Step 3: Access the Bluetooth Page on Your Device
Once you’ve powered on the speaker and put it in pairing mode, the next step is to locate and access the Bluetooth page on your device.
To do this, go to the settings menu on your device and look for the Bluetooth option. It is usually represented by a Bluetooth icon or the word ‘Bluetooth’ itself. Once you’ve found it, tap on it to open the Bluetooth settings.
On the Bluetooth page, you should see a list of available devices for pairing. Look for the Bose SoundLink speaker in the list. If it doesn’t appear, try refreshing the list or toggling Bluetooth off and on.
Once you see the Bose SoundLink, simply tap on it to connect. The Bluetooth LED indicator on the speaker will become steady, indicating that it is paired and connected to your device.
Step 4: Refresh the Bluetooth List or Toggle Bluetooth On and Off
If the Bose SoundLink speaker does not appear on the Bluetooth page, you can try refreshing the list or toggling Bluetooth off and on.
Sometimes, the device may not immediately recognize the speaker, so refreshing the list can help to prompt it to appear. To do this, simply swipe down or access the Bluetooth settings on your device and look for an option to refresh the list.
Toggling Bluetooth off and on is another option that can help to reset the connection and allow the speaker to appear. Simply go to your device’s Bluetooth settings, toggle the Bluetooth switch off, wait a few seconds, and then toggle it back on.
This can sometimes resolve any issues and make the SoundLink speaker visible on the Bluetooth page.
Step 5: Connect the Bose SoundLink Speaker to Your Device
To connect the Bose SoundLink speaker to your device, follow these steps:
- Ensure that the speaker is powered on and in close proximity to your device.
- Make sure the speaker is charged or plugged in and keep it within range of your device.
- If the SoundLink doesn’t appear on the Bluetooth page, try refreshing the list or toggling Bluetooth off and on.
- If you’re having trouble finding the Bluetooth page on your device, refer to the specific instructions.
- Once the speaker is paired and connected, the Bluetooth LED indicator light will be steady.
- If Bluetooth still doesn’t connect, press and hold the mute button for 10 seconds to reset the speaker.
- Also, check that audio is playing on your device and adjust the volume controls on both the speaker and device.
- If you encounter any further issues, try restarting the speaker and device, or contact customer support for assistance.
Step 6: Troubleshooting Bluetooth Connection Issues
Ensure that your device is not locked or in airplane mode when troubleshooting Bluetooth connection issues.
If you’re experiencing difficulties connecting your Bose SoundLink speaker to your device, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take.
First, make sure that your device is unlocked and not in airplane mode, as this can interfere with the Bluetooth connection.
Next, restart both your speaker and your device to refresh the connection.
If the problem persists, you may need to factory reset the speaker by holding the mute button for 10 seconds.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, don’t hesitate to reach out to customer support for further assistance.
