Note that it only gives you about 15 seconds to do this before the operation times out. If this is successful, the two devices will be paired and you should see braille on your display.

To do this, press space with oh for the options menu followed by Sea for conductivity then followed by B for Bluetooth. If it says Bluetooth is not on, press Y for yes.

I got instructions, and attempted them. The IPad said that it could not find the driver for the Apex. Any help would be appriciated.
