Preparing Your Sonos Move
Before you start using your Sonos Move with Bluetooth, it’s essential to ensure it’s properly prepared. You wouldn’t want to start a road trip without checking the gas levels on your car, right? Similarly, you should check the battery level of your Sonos Move to ensure it’s fully charged or has a sufficient amount of power.
Checking Sonos Move Battery Level
To check the battery level of your Sonos Move, simply look at the top of the device for a series of LED lights. Each light corresponds to a specific battery level, with five lights indicating a full charge and one light indicating a low battery. You can also check the battery level on your Sonos Move’s display screen by navigating to the settings menu.
Turning On Bluetooth on Sonos Move
Once you’ve checked the battery level, it’s time to turn on Bluetooth on your Sonos Move. To do this, locate the Bluetooth button on the back of the device and press it until you hear a confirmation beep. Alternatively, you can navigate to the settings menu on your Sonos Move and toggle the Bluetooth switch to the “on” position. Now your Sonos Move is ready to pair with your Bluetooth device!
Pairing Sonos Move with Bluetooth Device
Pairing your Sonos Move with a Bluetooth device is a straightforward process that requires a few simple steps. Before we dive in, make sure you have your Sonos Move and the Bluetooth device you want to pair it with nearby and ready to use.
Locating Bluetooth Settings on Sonos Move
To begin the pairing process, you’ll need to locate the Bluetooth settings on your Sonos Move. This can be found by pressing the button on top of the speaker until the lights start flashing. This indicates that the speaker is in Bluetooth discovery mode. You should now see the Bluetooth settings menu on your Sonos Move, which includes options for pairing with a new device, forgetting a device, and viewing the list of paired devices.
Putting Sonos Move in Pairing Mode
To put your Sonos Move in pairing mode, select the “Pair New Device” option from the Bluetooth settings menu. Your Sonos Move will now enter a state where it’s actively searching for nearby Bluetooth devices to pair with. You should see a countdown timer on your Sonos Move indicating how much time you have to pair it with a device.
Selecting Sonos Move from Bluetooth Device List
Once your Sonos Move is in pairing mode, you’ll need to locate it on your Bluetooth device’s list of available devices. This list is usually found in the device’s settings menu under the Bluetooth section. Select the “Sonos Move” from the list of available devices to initiate the pairing process. Your Sonos Move will then prompt you to confirm the pairing request.
Connecting Sonos Move to Bluetooth Speaker
When you’re ready to connect your Sonos Move to a Bluetooth speaker, there are a few steps to follow to ensure a seamless pairing experience. In this section, we’ll walk you through the process of checking compatibility, pairing the Sonos Move, and adjusting volume settings.
Checking Bluetooth Speaker Compatibility with Sonos Move
Before you start pairing your Sonos Move with a Bluetooth speaker, it’s essential to check if the speaker is compatible with your device. You can find this information in your device’s manual or manufacturer’s website. Think of it like trying to connect two puzzle pieces – they need to fit together perfectly to work smoothly. Make sure you’ve got the right puzzle pieces before attempting to your devices.
Pairing Sonos Move with Bluetooth Speaker
Once you’ve confirmed compatibility, it’s time to pair your Sonos Move with your Bluetooth speaker. This is a straightforward process that involves a few simple steps:
• Make sure both devices are turned on and in range of each other.
• On your Sonos Move, navigate to Settings > Wireless Settings > Bluetooth.
• Select the Bluetooth speaker from the list of available devices.
• Wait for the devices to pair – you may need to enter a verification code or confirm the pairing process on your Bluetooth speaker.
Adjusting Volume Settings on Bluetooth Speaker
After pairing your Sonos Move with your Bluetooth speaker, you may need to adjust the volume settings to your liking. This is an easy process that can be done through the control panel on your Sonos Move or through the settings app on your Bluetooth speaker. Remember, the goal is to find the sweet spot where the music feels just right – not too loud, not too soft, but just right. Take some time to experiment with different volume settings until you find the one that works best for you.
Troubleshooting Bluetooth Connection Issues
Bluetooth connectivity issues can be frustrating, but don’t worry, we’re here to help. In this section, we’ll walk you through some troubleshooting steps to get your Sonos Move connected and enjoying your favorite tunes.
Finding Sonos Move’s Bluetooth Address
Have you ever tried to pair your Sonos Move with a device, only to find that it’s not recognizing each other? If so, it might be due to a mismatched Bluetooth address. To find your Sonos Move’s Bluetooth address, follow these steps:

• Note down the address as you’ll need it for future troubleshooting
Restarting Bluetooth Device and Sonos Move
Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Try restarting both your Sonos Move and the Bluetooth device you’re trying to connect it to. Here’s how:
• Unplug the power cord from the back of your Sonos Move
• Wait for 30 seconds to allow any lingering signals to clear
• Plug the power cord back in and wait for your Sonos Move to boot up
• Restart your Bluetooth device (phone, tablet, etc.)
