  • Turn on the speaker by pressing the power button.
  • Activate Bluetooth on the first device you wish to connect.

Pairing the First Device

Follow these steps to connect your first device:

  • Press and hold the Bluetooth button on the JBL Clip 5 until the LED indicator flashes blue and white, indicating pairing mode.
  • On your device, scan for available Bluetooth devices.

Switching Between Devices

To switch audio output between devices:
