To pair a device with your speaker, follow these steps:
Pairing a Bluetooth® device with your SoundLink speaker
Applies to:
On the speaker, press POWER to turn the speaker on
Press Bluetooth, so that the Bluetooth status indicator slowly blinks blue. If the Bluetooth indicator blinks white, press Bluetooth again. Pressing Bluetooth switches between connecting mode (flashing white) and pairing mode (pulsing blue)
On your device, turn Bluetooth® on. This is typically found in your device's settings menu. Depending on your device, you may have to press "Search for devices" or similar to find available Bluetooth® devices in the area
In your device's Bluetooth® list, select the device named "Bose SLIII." If your device prompts you for a passcode, enter "0000" (four zeros). When pairing is complete and your device is connected to the speaker, the Bluetooth® status indicator on the speaker changes from blinking blue to solid white and the speaker emits a tone
Speaker memory
The speaker can remember up to six paired devices. If you pair the speaker with an additional device, the device least recently connected is no longer paired with the speaker.
To clear the speaker memory of all devices, press and hold Bluetooth® (for about 10 seconds) until you hear a tone. All devices are cleared and the speaker becomes discoverable.
Reconnecting a device
When turned on, the speaker attempts to reconnect with a device in memory starting with the last connected device. If the last connected device is not available, the speaker connects to the next-to-last connected device, and so forth. The speaker searches for a paired device for approximately 30 seconds.
