Check that you are using the Bose Connect app.

There are several Bose apps designed for different products. Your product works with the Bose Connect app icon. For more info, see Download the Bose Connect app for compatible products.

Try connecting your Bose product once without using the Bose Connect app.

For help connecting a smartphone, see Connecting a Bluetooth device. If a connection still cannot be made, see Cannot connect a Bluetooth device.
