How to Add JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth Speakers?

I just bought a JBL Charge bluetooth speaker.

Wanting to use not just my iPhone, I wondered how I could connect via bluetooth to my 15" MacBook Pro running Sierra 10.12.2, with my 200+ gig iTunes music library in iTunes version 12.5.4. After some googling and another article elsewhere here on the forums I realised that, the instructions weren't that clear on the JBL manual.

Opening my bluetooth preferences I could see a device which might have been the my speaker but I wasn't sure?

That device starting with SMA001d, was I thought my JBL Charge 3 Speaker.

But really I'm still not sure. Even after repeated pressing of what I thought was the paring button on the top of my speaker it still wouldn't connect.

So I dug up the JBL Charge 3 speaker again and had a closer look.

This image on this page, page 2 is important.

The bluetooth symbol itself [first on the left] is how you pair to other devices, not the other infinity type symbol [fouth from the right]

Once I had worked this out the speaker then appeared in my bluetooth preferences list.

See this picture below. Note that device starting with SA000 is still there?

I am now able to enjoy my entire iTunes library anywhere within range of the MacBook Pro, running Sierra 10.12.2 with my iTunes library attached.
