  If your Bose speaker isn't connecting to your mobile device, it might be linked to another device. Press the speaker button to hear which device is connected. Press it again within 3 seconds to connect to the next paired device. Also, ensure that Bose Color SoundLink is selected in your mobile device's Bluetooth list. You can also try clearing the speaker's memory by pressing and holding the button for about 10 seconds, until the voice prompt says, “Bluetooth device list cleared.” Removing the speaker from your mobile device's Bluetooth list and re-pairing it can also help.

  If you're experiencing no sound or poor sound quality from a Bluetooth device connected to your Bose speaker, make sure you have a music app open and a track playing on your mobile device. Also, ensure the volume is turned up on both the speaker and your mobile device. Try moving the mobile device closer to the speaker, away from any interference. You might also want to try a different music app or track.
