Hum x by Verizon – Create a Paired Connection
Effective 10/17/19, the hands-free feature on your Humx speaker must be enabled to establish a Bluetooth® connection with your phone.
- Open the Hum app.
- Tap the Menu icon (upper-left).
- Tap Enable Hands-Free.
- Tap Enable.
Once hands-free is enabled, if you’re pairing your phone to your HumX speaker for the first time, continue with the steps below to create a paired connection using Bluetooth.
If you’ve previously paired your phone to your HumX speaker, you should notice your phone had re-established the connection to the HumX speaker.
Notes:
- A phone won’t connect via Bluetooth during initial pairing or regular use if the speaker is plugged into the charging cable.
- For the speaker to be paired to a phone, it must be charged, powered on and taken out of shipping mode.
- The OBD reader must be installed in the car and within 10 feet of the speaker.
- Start the vehicle’s engine.
- From the Humx speaker, press and hold the Call button for about 3 seconds or until the LED ring around the speaker begins to flash blue.
- For the phone you are pairing, go to settings to turn Bluetooth on and search for other Bluetooth devices.
- Tap Hum from the search results on the phone.
If prompted for a PIN (passkey), enter 0000.
The flashing blue LED on the speaker turns solid for about 15 seconds to indicate the phone has been paired successfully.
