Jam Speaker How To Connect?
Jam speakers usually come with both wired and wireless connectivity. In this following section, we will explain both ways to connect your Jam speaker.
Method #1 Using the Auxiliary Line-In Audio:
Most of the Jam wireless speakers would come with Auxiliary line-in audio jack. The easiest way to connect your Jam speaker to any media player would be to use the supplied aux line-in cable. Also, this method could come in handy if you want to listen to music through the speakers from devices that don’t have wireless connectivity. Now, let’s see how to do that.
- First off, you can use the aux-in cable to connect the speaker to any headphone or earphone. Or you could also plug in the line-out jack from any media player devices to the line-in audio jack of the Jam speaker. It is pretty straightforward and self-explanatory

Similarly, Jam speakers come with Bluetooth connectivity as well. So, you can connect the speaker to any Bluetooth enabled devices. Now, there are a lot of different models of Jam speakers available out there.
So, the process of connecting all these various Jam speakers via Bluetooth would be a bit different from each other. Still, we can tell you that the process would be basically the same for all the various models. So, let’s see how to connect Jam speakers wirelessly.
- Go to the settings of your Bluetooth enabled devices (smartphone, tablets, laptops, PCs, etc.) and turn on Bluetooth connectivity
- Now, turn on the Jam speaker by sliding the ‘Power Switch’ on the unit
- Then, press and hold the ‘Play/Pause’ button for about 5 seconds or until the Bluetooth connectivity indicator starts to blink fast. Typically, the Bluetooth indicator will be a blue light at the top of the ‘Bluetooth’ sign. If the blue light is blinking so fast, then you should know that the speaker is in pairing mode
- Now, scan for new devices on your Bluetooth enabled device and you should see a new device named ‘Jam Speaker’ or ‘Jam Classic’ Actually, the name would be related to the particular model of Jam speaker you are trying to connect
- After the Jam speaker has been discovered by the Bluetooth enabled device, simply select the name of the speaker and completed the connection
- In some cases, you might need to enter a passcode. In those cases, enter ‘0000’ as the passcode
- In doing so, your Jam speaker will be connected via Bluetooth. Usually, once a device is paired and connected with a Jam speaker, you will see the blue light is blinking slowly. Also, in some particular models, you might here notification like ‘Successfully Connected’ or ‘Bluetooth Connected’ or something similar
- Also, you will only need to pair a device with the Jam speaker once. After the first time, just turn on Bluetooth on the device and turn on the Jam speaker. Simply, keep them near each other after that and both devices will be connected automatically
