>> Hi Mikayla, this is Helga. I just wanted to tell you that in order to connect your Apex to your iPad, you need to do these steps.

>> 5. On the iPhone, go to settings/general/accessability/VoiceOver.

>> These are actually steps in order to connect the BrailleNote to the iPhone, but I think the iPhone and the iPad are the same kind of device. Hope this helps! Thanks and God bless!! :)
>> P.S. Don't forget to press the enter key when you come to the Braille Terminal Port. Thanks again! ;)

>> I appologize in advance for this only being semi-helpful.  I believe there is a command you first need to enter on the Apex, but I can’t remember what that is.  Hopefully someone will answer that part.  Once you’re in the mode to use it as a braille display, on your phone, do the following.

>> 1. Go to settings, General, Accessibility, Voiceover, Braille.
>> 2. Swipe right until you hear “Choose braille display”.  You will then see your Apex listed.  Double tap on that and, I think you should be good.  I don’t have an Apex, so I’m kind of going off the top of my head here, but as I recall, that is the procedure.  Hopefully someone can confirm that as well as supply the proper command to put the Apex in, for lack of a better term, pair mode.
