Gives Sony SRS XB13 Reset Instructions here, to return it back to default settings. So resetting restores the XB13 to default state. Additionally, it erases any previously connected Bluetooth devices from its memory. Clearing these stops this unit from joining to any nearby BT devices. Also, you should reset to get this speaker ready for sale or re-gifting, or to stop the auto pairing with devices you no longer wish it to link with.
Sony SRS XB13 Reset Instructions: Step by Step
1. Power UP the XB13
Press the Power button for a half-second or so and then release it.
E.g. Find the Power button as we show in the next picture.
Then, the status light comes on, as shown next.
The speaker may make a ding-dong tone sound when it powers up, should it pair to a nearby device. Or it may make no sound whatsoever if it does not. Yet whether it connects or not, this Reset routine works the same, as follows.
2. Press and Hold the Play / Pause and Volume UP Buttons At the Same Time
Find these buttons as we show next. Both are near the bottom of the speaker, as called out in the next picture.
The XB13 then enters reset mode.
After a little pause, the speaker powers OFF, and the status lamp goes dark, as shown next. Note that on the SRS XB13, there is no power-down sound.
3. Check that Reset Did Indeed Happen
Next, power on the unit again, as we detail in step 1.
Note that after a reset, the XB13 comes up in pairing / discovery mode. The Power lamp blinks blue rapidly to telegraph this. This is a prompt that you may then look for this speaker on a nearby BT device, and pair to it if you so desire.
4. Done with Sony SRS XB13 Reset Instructions !
Reset is now complete. So you may now gift or sell it, or link it again with your favorite Bluetooth devices.
After a reset, the XB13 no longer auto connects with any prior paired Bluetooth device. Thus, to restore automatic pairing, you manually pair it with a device. Then after that, any time that both speaker and that device have Bluetooth turned on, and they’re near to each other, pairing would automatically take place once more.
