How do I pair my device with my Bluetooth speakers?

Not working? 

If your Bluetooth connection isn't working, make sure your devices are paired properly. Check your speakers’ user guide for instructions on how to pair your devices.

It's also worth checking: 

  • The devices are in range. We recommend they're within 1 metre (3ft) of each other.
  • Both devices have sufficient power. 
  • You're connected to the right device. You might need to disconnect from any other devices. 
  • You haven't reached the maximum number of devices you can pair at any one time.

If you’re still having problems with your Bluetooth speakers, get in touch with the manufacturer of your speakers for more advice.
