To pair your Sony SRS XB13 with a Bluetooth device for the first time, or to refresh old connection info in that device, you have to know how to start up discovery mode on this BT speaker. Now in this mode, the speaker broadcasts its name and currently valid connection information over the Bluetooth airwaves, so that nearby Bluetooth source devices can find and connect to it. Thus in this post, we show you How to Make Sony SRS XB13 Discoverable, to allow you to link it with phones, tablets, computers, and smart speakers.
How to Make Sony SRS XB13 Discoverable: Step by Step Directions
1. Turn On the Speaker
Firstly, turn on the XB13 by rapidly pressing its Power button.
The speaker then comes ON.
2. Press and Hold the Bluetooth Button for Two or Three Seconds
Secondly, this lets you discover your XB13 on your source Bluetooth device. So, place the speaker into discovery mode by pressing and releasing the Bluetooth button.
Additionally, when you press and release this button in a quarter second, the speaker plays a rise-fall beeping sound.
Warning: Do not hold in for much longer than a quarter second, as this triggers stereo pairing mode, which we do not discuss here.
Plus, the Pairing Status lamp begins flashing in a pulse-pulse-pause-pulse-pulse-pause pattern. We point out the location of this light in the last picture.
3. Done with How to Make Sony SRS XB13 Discoverable
Finally, while the Bluetooth Status lamp is blinking, you should see the XB13 on any in-range phone, computer, tablet, or smart speaker, that is within several feet of it, as we see in the last picture above. The speaker appears as “SRS-XB13” there.
