- First, in order to pair the iPad to a Bluetooth device you need to make sure the Bluetooth device is discoverable.
- Refer to the instruction manual for the device (which you can find online usually if you lost it) on how to do this.
- Typically, it just involves holding down a button for a few seconds. Next, you need to turn the iPad's Bluetooth capability on.
- Go to Settings by touching the Settings App icon that looks like gears. Within Settings, select General and then Bluetooth.
- Once you are in the Bluetooth screen, press the on/off switch to turn Bluetooth on. Make sure it reads "on".
- Once you turn on Bluetooth, you should see the discoverable Bluetooth device show up on the screen as part of a list.
- Select the device you wish to pair with the iPad. Depending on the device, it may prompt you for a password. Refer to the Bluetooth device's product manual for this password.
One more procedure:---
Turn on the Bluetooth device you wish to connect with the iPad and switch it to discovery mode. Discovery mode allows the device to receive and send connection information; the process differs between devices. Consult the literature included with the accessory for instruction specific to that device. Discovery mode often lasts for a moment before automatically shutting off. Open the "Settings" icon on the iPad and tap "General." Select "Bluetooth" from the list and then tap the switch to turn Bluetooth to the "On" position. The iPad will automatically begin searching for Bluetooth devices in range. Tap the accessory when it appears in the list of available devices. Enter the device's pairing code when prompted. Many Bluetooth accessories use pairing numbers for connection secrity and will not connect out the correct four digit code. The device's packaging or manual will list the code. If the device has no code, leave the box blank. If you cannot find the code, many devices use "0000" as their default code. Disconnect the Bluetooth device by turning it off, turning off the iPad's Bluetooth card or by tapping the Bluetooth icon on the iPad's home screen. Once paired the accessory will automatically connect when both devices are within range and have Bluetooth activated.
0000 is a default password code.
