If you’re using your Bose Soundlink Bluetooth speaker for the first time, make sure it’s fully charged.
The Bluetooth speaker should go into a connecting mode when turned on for the first time.
On iOS devices:
Open the Settings app from the Home Screen.
Now, tap Bluetooth toggle On. You’ll know Bluetooth is on when the icon turns green.
Under Devices, select Bose Soundlink.
On Android devices:
Open the Settings app and tap on Connected devices.
Tap the Bluetooth toggle switch on.
Tap Pair New Device and select Bose Soundlink.
When it’s ready to connect, you’ll see a blue light blink on your Bose Soundlink. It will blink white when it’s connecting, and it will appear a solid white when it’s connected to a device.
