BT READY means the soundbar is already paired to another device. Hold the Pairing button until BT PAIRING flashes to force discovery mode.

Samsung soundbar Bluetooth keeps dropping the connection?

Keep the source device within 10 metres with a clear line of sight. Disabling 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi on your phone temporarily can help — both share the same radio band.
