First, make sure you have a USB-C to USB-C cable. Also, turn off Bluetooth on your phone to cut the Bluetooth connection between the JBL Charge 6 and your phone. The Bluetooth LED on your speaker should turn off as well.
With your JBL Charge 6 fully charged, plug one end of your USB-C to USB-C cable into the phone’s USB-C charging port.
Before you insert the cable into the speaker’s USB-C port, firmly press and hold the Play/Pause button on the JBL Charge 6, without releasing. While still holding the Play/Pause button, insert the other end of the cable into the speaker’s USB-C port.
You should hear a notification sound on your JBL Charge 6, as well as see a volume slider notification appear on the phone’s screen. This indicates a successful connection.
Go to your music app, which should indicate using an icon, that you’re connected to a listening device. Start playing music or video on your phone.
Begin with a low volume on both the phone and speaker, then increase gradually to your preferred listening level. If your phone has separate media volume controls, ensure they’re turned on.
