Because the speakers have been previously paired, you will have to revert its pairing mode settings manually.

But if this doesn’t work, you can go ahead and follow these steps.
To reset your JBL Clip 2 back to its initial state, press the “Volume Up” and “Phone” buttons simultaneously until the speakers shut off. Your speaker will now be set back to its initial state. The pairing information is cleared and they will be ready to pair once opened.
