[nabs-l] How To connect my BrailleNote Apex to my iPhone 5

[Josh Gregory]

Hello, I'm not Sophie, but you might want to try restarting the phone and then repairing it. The pin is four zeros, you have to type them in quickly in succession, it doesn't give you very long to do this. Perhaps 30 seconds or so… If you do it correctly, and managed to tap The pair button in time, you will hear a little beep sound from the phone and braille should start to show up on the display of the apex. Provided all this works,  whenever you want to use the apex with the phone, all you need do is make sure Bluetooth is on and that you are in Bluetooth mode in the braille terminal, then lock and unlock the phone and braille should then show up. Hope all of this makes sense and should you require any further assistance, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Josh

I just wanted to tell you that I folowed all the steps regarding the BrailleNote Apex, and they work fine, but when I get to the iPhone, it recognizes my BrailleNote device, but it says no connected, and when I double tap on it, voiceover tells me make sure that yor BrailleNote is on and Irange. I don't really know what is wrong! with it. Do you know something about this? By the way, just to let you know, the first time I tried connecting my BrailleNote my voiceover said BrailleNote Apex not pair, and then I double tap on it, and then it said pairing, and then it took me to type the ping, and after trying many times it didn't work, so that is when voiceover told me not connecting. I will really appreciate it a lot if you could help me with this situation. Also, if you know someone who knows about this as well that will be great as well? Thanks for listening to me. God bless! :)
