When this guide applies

Exact Bose SoundLink Flex Gen 2. Powered-on speaker; room in the six-source saved list must be confirmed. Pairing interruption is explicit; no 15-second clearing hold. Bluetooth source context; no reset or saved-pairing deletion is prescribed.

Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: My devices won’t pair or reconnect.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.

Checks and possible outcomes

Start at room. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.

room

Is there room in the six-source saved list?

Confirm fewer than six saved sources before adding a new source. If full or uncertain, stop rather than infer which saved record may be replaced.

Look for: Choose only what you can confirm.

result

Does the source confirm an actual connection?

A visible nearby entry alone is not a completed connection. The speaker Bluetooth light should show its documented connected state.
