Troubleshooting

Speaker will not pair with Bluetooth device

Hold the Bluetooth button until the light flashes blue to initiate pairing mode, and ensure the source device is within the 9-metre range.

Audio sounds distorted or muffled

Ensure the speaker is placed on a flat, stable surface or properly oriented, as PositionIQ needs a clear reading to optimize the sound output.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the SoundLink Flex, power on the device and enter pairing mode to connect via your smartphone's Bluetooth settings. For a better experience, download the Bose app to manage device updates, firmware, and advanced settings. To ensure longevity, keep the speaker clean by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth.
