Something Doesn’t Look Right?

JBL Keeps Connecting to My Phone or Another Device

Turn Bluetooth OFF on the phone, tablet, computer, or TV it keeps connecting to. Then put the JBL device and Avantree transmitter into pairing mode again.

JBL Is ON but Won’t Connect

Make sure the JBL device is in actual Bluetooth pairing mode. Simply turning it ON may cause it to reconnect to a previously paired device instead.

Both Devices Are in Pairing Mode but Won’t Connect
  1. Turn Bluetooth OFF on nearby devices.
  2. Keep the JBL device close to the Avantree transmitter.
  3. Put the JBL device into pairing mode again.
  4. Put the Avantree transmitter into pairing mode again.
  5. Wait a few seconds.

If they still cannot connect, clear the pairing history or factory reset both devices, then try pairing again.

Audio Delay When Watching TV?

JBL Bluetooth headphones and speakers listed in this guide do not support aptX Low Latency. You may notice lip-sync delay when watching TV or videos.
