Before you connect a device to the Sonos Roam, using Bluetooth, you will first need to set up the Sonos on WIFI.  This will allow it to later connect to Bluetooth.  Please read the below information to learn how to pair, disconnect, and reconnect a Sonos Roam.

Step by Step Guide to Pairing a Device with a Sonos Roam through Bluetooth

The first thing you will need to do before pairing a device is to make sure the Sonos Device is powered on and awake.  Next, you will need to connect the Sonos Roam to WIFI to set up the Sonos app.  After that, these steps can be followed to connect a device to Sonos Roam through Bluetooth:

• Press and hold the power button located on the back of the Roam for 2 seconds and then release.  If this was done correctly, you should hear a pairing tone, and a blue flashing light should appear. 
• Open Bluetooth on the device (phone, tablet, or computer) you want to connect to the Roam.  Under Bluetooth settings, you will select “Roam” from the device list.
• The device should then connect to the Roam through Bluetooth, and if paired correctly, you will hear another tone, and the light should change from flashing blue to a solid blue.

If for some reason the Sonos doesn’t pair, recheck the Bluetooth setting on your device to see if it shows “connected” next to the Roam device in your Bluetooth settings.  If it is not connected, you should repeat the steps above to try to connect through Bluetooth again.
