FAQs & How-Tos

30 results
  • After I updated my computer to Windows 8/10, I am no longer able to establish a Bluetooth connection with my speaker to play music. How can I correct the problem?
    This is because most Windows do not support A2DP stereo audio streaming via Bluetooth, the standard for music-listening through Bluetooth. The system will support keyboards, mice, printers etc. via Bluetooth, but not audio. It is necessary to download the proper drivers, either from the computer manufacturer, the software manufacturer or the manufacturer of the Bluetooth chip in the computer. Help to do this must be sought with the companies that supply one or more of these computer features.
  • Buttons unresponsive when plugged into a power source
    If the buttons on your portable speaker are not working properly or are unresponsive while plugged into a power source, please try running the speaker on battery. If the buttons perform correctly while running on battery, this means your power supply is not providing enough current/amps. Be sure to use a power supply that has a rating equal to or greater than the amperage rating indicated in your product specs.
  • Can i connect 3 or more speakers together with JBL Connect?
    No, for now it is only possible to connect two speakers together using the JBL connect feature. Newer JBL products feature JBL Connect+, which allows you to connect > 100 devices simultaneously, these however are not compatible with older JBL products featuring JBL Connect
  • Can I place my Flip3 in the bathroom, where it is humid, and it may be splashed with water?
    Yes, steam and drops of water in a bathroom are fine.
  • Can I use my Flip3 outside in rainy weather?
    Yes, this is no problem.
  • Can the case be used to carry accessories with the speaker?
    No. The case can only be used to carry the speaker.
  • Does it have automatic standby?
    Yes, after approximately 10 minutes of no activity and no audio, the unit goes into sleep mode. It must be awakened with the ON/OFF Button. It is not possible to wake it up with a Bluetooth pairing signal. After 20 minutes of no activity and no audio, the unit will power off.
  • Does my speaker have an input selector, or are Bluetooth and AUX signals playing simultaneously?
    Bluetooth keeps on playing, even if you connect something and play to the AUX input. BT keeps on playing, since it has first priority. If you pause or stop BT play, any source playing to the AUX input will now be heard. If you resume play on the BT source, it will take over, and the AUX source is no longer heard, but will of course keep on playing, since there is no way to send a pause or stop signal to the AUX source via the line cable. All of this means that there is an input selector switch built into the device, controlled by the BT play function.
  • How can I check the software version on my Flip3, Flip4 or Xtreme??
    By pressing Volume - & JBL Connect button for 3 seconds. A voice will tell you the current software version.
  • How can I connect two JBL Connect compatible speakers together?
    Please press JBL Connect buttons on both speakers to connect.
