    Software Update Release Notes

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Version:  0.8.9.0

    Release Date: January 15th, 2025

    Release Media: OTA (over the air) Update through JBL Portable App

     

    What’s New

    1. Updated standby time
    2. Improved Samsung TV compatibility
  • You will need to dry the charging port completely before plugging in power for charging.
     
  • This product does not feature speakerphone or voice assistant functionality as it does not have a microphone.
  • To reset the JBL Charge 5, Charge Essential or Charge Essential 2: 

    Volume+ & Play/Pause Long press for 2 seconds while the speaker is ON

    Please note: If the Charge 5 was previously paired with any phones/tablets, please remove the speaker from your list of paired Bluetooth devices. Now it has been restored to its factory settings, it will automatically enter into pairing mode the first time you power it on.
  • This product is rated IP67, which is different from IPX7. IP67 protects the product from submersion in 1 meter (3.3 feet) of water for up to 30 minutes. It is also resistant against dust. Dust accumulation around electronics can lead to hardware failure, so the IP67 rating is an extremely beneficial addition to this product. 
  • You cannot download the JBL Portable App on a PC. This app is only available on mobile devices.
  • Your JBL speaker is waterproof with IPX7 rating. (IPX7 means it can survive immersion in 1 meter/3.3 feet for up to 30 minutes.) To maintain the looks and functions of your speaker, please make sure to rinse it with fresh water after using it at a swimming pool or the ocean, then dry off all covers and areas where water can gather. The standard for waterproofing is for tap water. Chemicals and salt in your pool or the ocean can damage the waterproof seals or harm the surface finish over time if not rinsed off after use.
  • If you create a Stereo Pair using the JBL Portable App and you come within range of additional PartyBoost compatible speakers while they are ON, the app will find these speakers. This will break the stereo pair and create a mono PartyBoost group that includes all active speakers that are in proximity. This only happens when the JBL Portable App is actively running on the source device, including when it is running in the background, and when these other speakers are ON. To avoid this scenario, make sure the app is completely closed, without running in the background before coming near any additional PartyBoost speakers that happen to be ON.


    NOTE: The Portable App does not need to be running in order to enjoy Stereo sound from two speakers

  • 1. Connect the first Partyboost speaker with your phone and keep music playing (for best results play music on this speaker for more than 20 seconds before proceeding with the next steps).

    2. Press the Partyboost button on the first speaker.
    3. Turn on the second speaker that you want to connect in Partyboost mode.
    4. Now press the Partyboost button on the second speaker.
    5. After a few seconds, both Partyboost speakers should connect and play together.
    It can take a few seconds after music is started before sound will be heard from both speakers.
    This is also the process for connecting more than two speakers in Party mode, simply turn on the other compatible speakers and press the Partyboost buttons. PartyBoostButtonsGroup.png
  • 1. Turn on both speakers.
    2. Connect your device to one of the two speakers via Bluetooth.

    3. Start streaming music to that speaker (for best results play music on this speaker for more than 20 seconds before proceeding with the next steps).
    4. Open the JBL Portable app.
    5. Allow the app to detect the single speaker playing music.
    6. Once detected, press the Connect/Partyboost button on both speakers.

    7. Allow the app to identify both speakers.
    8. Click the Partyboost button, you will see the option for Party or Stereo, select Stereo.

    Please note: Stereo Mode can only be enabled when 2 of the same speaker model are used.
    For example, you will not be able to achieve Stereo Mode with a Flip 5 and Flip 6, only Party Mode.
    Also, it is not possible to pair speaker models with Connect and Connect+ together, or pair to speaker models with Partyboost.
