FAQs & How-Tos

  • Can I wirelessly link JBL Flip 4 together with JBL Flip 3, Pulse 2 or Xtreme?
    No, JBL Flip 4 can wirelessly link with JBL Connect+ compatible speakers only. Currently, the Flip 4, Pulse 3 and Charge 3 ( after a firmware upgrade ) have the JBL Connect+ feature
  • Do I need to close the USB cap for the speaker to be waterproof?
    Yes, it is needed to close the USB cap completely for waterproof.
  • Do the Flip 4 and Charge 3 float in water?
    No, the IP waterproof specification means that these speakers can be immersed in water 1 m deep for 30 minutes. It does not mean that they can float, so please be careful. If dropped, they will sink to the bottom.
  • JBL Portable App: PC Information
    You cannot download the JBL Portable App on a PC. This app is only available on mobile devices.
  • My device is waterproof, but what about salt water or chlorine water?
    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.
  • What can I do with the Connect app?
    It is possible to rename the Bluetooth name of the primary connected device and set the Party or Stereo mode. If a firmware upgrade is available for any Connect, Connect+, or Partyboost compatible speaker, this can be installed through the JBL Portable app. Only identical products can be set to stereo mode. Please note that, even though you can pair a Boost TV with JBL Connect, you cannot control this from the JBL Connect App
  • What is connect+?
    JBL Connect+ can wirelessly link more than 100 JBL Connect+ enabled speakers together to amplify the party
