How to put Sonos Roam into Bluetooth pairing mode and connect your phone

The Sonos Roam is the second portable Bluetooth speaker from the multi-room audio company, but unlike the first - Sonos Move - it doesn't have a Wi-Fi to Bluetooth toggle switch. Instead there is one button next to the USB Type-C power port that controls both the power to the speaker and pairing.

The speaker automatically transfers between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as you move in and out of your home, but if you're wondering how to put it into Bluetooth pairing mode and connect it to your phone in the first place, we're here to help.
