If your SmartThings compatible speaker is not found during the setup process, try the following steps:

1. Ensure that your phone/tablet with the SmartThings app is less than 10m/33ft from the speaker during initial set-up.
2. Make sure your speaker is plugged into power and the LED display lights up.
   1. If the LED display is not turning on, reset the product to its factory settings.
   2. Once reset, try setting the speaker up again.
3. Power cycle your speaker. Restarting your speaker will often help resolve the issue with products not showing up during the setup. 
4. Unplug the power cord.
5. Wait for about 10 seconds.
6. Reconnect the power cord and make sure that the speaker is powering up.
7. Temporarily relocate your product by moving the speaker closer to your router.
   1. If your speaker is able to connect in this new location, the original location may be too far from the router to maintain a stable connection.
8. Use a different mobile device.
9. If the error persists, try using a different device that has the SmartThings app installed and is connected to your speaker.

If the earbuds go into standby mode and turn off, you can still use them without putting them back into the charging case. 
You can reactivate the headphones by pressing or touching the outside earbud itself.
Please note: They will be automatically powered off after 30 minutes of being in standby mode if they disconnect from Bluetooth. To reconnect, you will need to put the earbuds back in the charging case and take them off again. 

It is possible to change the standby mode time with your headphones. To do this, go into the My JBL Headphones app and choose the Standby Time via Auto-off function. You can adjust the time to 15min, 1hr, etc., or you can choose “Never” if you want to keep the earbuds turn on at all times. Once you set the Auto-off, the earbuds will work according to the setting whether they connect to Bluetooth or disconnect.
