To stream music via Bluetooth from your mobile device (e.g., smartphone or tablet) to your WiiM Sound, you need to pair your mobile device with the WiiM Sound first. This tutorial will guide you through the steps for Bluetooth pairing.

Initial Bluetooth Pairing

Step 1: Initiate Bluetooth Pairing Mode on WiiM Sound

Choose the most convenient method for you:

  • Option 1: Press and hold the Volume + and Volume - buttons on the WiiM Sound's top panel simultaneously for 2 seconds.

  • Option 3: Press and hold the Play/Pause button on your WiiM Voice Remote 2 Lite for 3 seconds.
    Note: To use the remote, make sure your WiiM Voice Remote 2 Lite is already paired with the WiiM Sound.
Tip: When the WiiM Sound enters Bluetooth pairing mode, its built-in screen will display a Bluetooth pairing prompt.
